Text
I thank my colleague Phillip Brett for all the work that he has done to put the issue on the public agenda. He has played a significant role in ensuring that the issue was not hidden in the shadows and that anti-Protestantism in boxing will not be allowed to continue. As a result, I announced the panel. Sport NI has been progressing work on the oversight panel, and I expect it to meet for the first time later this month.
