Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

The achievements of St. Brigid's are outstanding at national, European and world level. I have a particular interest in boxing and in doing everything I can to support amateur boxing in this country. I have asked the Minister of State with responsibility for sport to give particular attention to this sport. He will liaise with the Deputy if she sends the details of the club on to him and will see what we can do. I do not know the local circumstances that caused the premises to be closed but working with local authorities and nationally through the sports programme, we will do everything we can to assist.
