Tony Barr, President of Carrickmines Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club
"It is my very great privilege to welcome you to Ireland, to Dublin and here, to Carrickmines where we will host the 25th Association Croquet European Championships in August. We've hosted this competition twice before in 1995, and in 2011. Ireland has won it on three occasions with the winners being Simon Williams, Mark McInerney and Andrew Johnston. We very much hope that we might have a fourth winner this year. But even if we don't, it is my great pleasure to extend to each one of you a Céad Míle Fáilte. That means 100,000 welcomes.
We hope that you will enjoy being here in Ireland in Dublin and in Carrickmines in August for what promises to be a very exciting and enjoyable tournament. I hope that you will be able to make it over here and I look forward to meeting with you personally at that time."

Few people realise the strength of the influence of Ireland on croquet during the early nineteenth Century. The origins of the game are obscure and it may well have had ancient beginnings, but it is clear that wherever it came from, it was developed in Ireland in the early part of the nineteenth Century.
The first Irish Croquet Championship is recorded in 1871, and it was played again in 1873 and 1874 before seemingly lapsing. Indeed croquet did not prosper in England during the next 25 years, more
