Imelda Munster: Nos. 841 and 845 raise more questions than answers. As we said, Revenue has said its audit is complete and RTÉ has said there is no report and it is unable to furnish the committee with a copy because of that, but as other speakers have said, there must be some paper trail there. It might be no harm to write to Revenue just to ask it about the paper trail, correspondence or whatever...

Imelda Munster: I raise the matter of the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Deputy Ryan, appointing two of his pals to the Climate Change Advisory Council. I remember when the Zappone scandal happened that the Minister said lessons needed to be learned from this and we needed to make sure it does not ever happen again. An Oireachtas committee recommended that appointments to the...

- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Governance in Irish Athletic Boxing Association: Discussion (3 Nov 2021)
Imelda Munster: I congratulate the IABA on the recent Olympic success, which was a fantastic achievement. There is a feeling among some of the grassroots that there is a disconnect between the IABA board of directors, its central council and the grassroots. There is a very poor relationship there. The Holy Cross Boxing Club in Drogheda is just across the road from where I was brought up. For decades we...

- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Governance in Irish Athletic Boxing Association: Discussion (3 Nov 2021)
Imelda Munster: I am not cutting Mr. Kirwan short, but we are limited in time. He said he did not think the issue was as widespread as I indicated. Maybe that is an eye-opener for him. Having discussed this with many people, I know it is quite widespread. The association should take on board the telling fact that it is more widespread than it is aware of. Let us hope, following the publishing of the...

Imelda Munster: I will move on. We will wait for the outcome of the report and then consult with boxers at grassroot level to see if they believe anything has changed. Does Mr. Kirwan accept that the IABA has governance deficiencies? I am looking for a "Yes" or "No" answer.
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Governance in Irish Athletic Boxing Association: Discussion (3 Nov 2021)
Imelda Munster: I refer to the high performance unit. Billy Walsh left it in 2016 and cited at the time that the IABA wanted to have control over team selection and finances etc. and that this was the reason his contract fell through and he went to USA to join the team there. Some might argue that we risk losing another very successful high performance director over the same issues. Who selects teams at...
