There was a special allocation of €1.25m made to the IABA in 2011 to allow local boxing clubs throughout the country to improve their facilities with special emphasis on clubs developing facilities for female boxers. The maximum grant amount per boxing club was €25,000. This initiative was funded by my Department and administered by the IABA.
I recently announced an additional provision of €1m for the extension of the above scheme. This will not be an annual fund.
