Question:
To ask the Minister of Culture, Arts and Leisure how much funding each boxing club has received in each of the last three years.

Answer:

Sport NI, an arms length body of my Department, is responsible for the distribution of funding to sport in the north, including boxing. From April 2011 to date, Sport NI awarded a total of £1,277,396 Exchequer and Lottery funding to boxing clubs directly and also indirectly through the Irish Amateur Boxing Association.

Funding has been awarded by Sport NI through a variety of programmes and I have arranged for these details to be placed in the Assembly Library.
