Text

Thank you, Minister, for that answer and for your commitment on the subject. Let us not forget that the reason that it came to light was that a boxer was denied a place in the Commonwealth Games because of his religion. Minister, can you confirm that the report will not be shy in shining a light into corners of boxing across Northern Ireland, which has, for too long, had an anti-Protestant bias? When will the report be published? Will you ensure that those who have broken the law and abused Protestants in boxing are finally exposed?
