Mr. Anto Donnelly:

We have always identified the issue of non-ownership to be the main barrier for most boxing clubs because of where they are. They are in the annex of a school or in a cow shed. There are clubs in that position as we speak and they felt that they could not apply because of the non-ownership or leasing. That was a major barrier. The system can also sometimes be daunting for the individuals in the sport, as alluded to.
