Departure of High Performance Unit Head Coach: IABA and Sport Ireland
11:00 am
Mr. Joe Christle:
I am not aware of any other issues. In regard to the recognition of Billy Walsh, the IABA could not have put it more clearly in the statement that was read into the record, he is the most successful Olympic coach in any sport in Irish sporting history. We are extremely grateful for all the work that he has done. These are not platitudes. This is real. That is why for eight long months we battled to try to find a way to hold on to him.
