Last year a special once-off allocation of €1.25 million was made to the Irish Amateur Boxing Association to be used to improve basic facilities in boxing clubs and, in particular, with a view to accommodating female boxers in more clubs. This grant is centrally managed by the IABA. The club in question was allocated the maximum grant of €25,000 for substantial improvement works including the provision of a new bathroom and changing room.

On Friday 1 June the Department was informed by the IABA that the works have been completed and have been signed off by the IABA architect. The IABA also confirmed that it had received the final invoice and expected to make a payment to the contractor this week.
