Text
Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker; I will be brief. I very much welcome the Minister's statement and the clarity around the shocking case of discrimination against Daryl Clarke. Does the Minister agree that the onus is now fully on the Ulster Boxing Council and the IABA to regain their reputation and the trust of the boxing community, and is he assured that they will now do that in light of the Equality Commission report?
