An employment dispute between the Irish Athletic Boxing Association and its former high-performance director, Bernard Dunne, has been settled at the Workplace Relations Commission.

A hearing of an employment rights claim by the well-known, former Irish boxer was due to be heard at the WRC on Wednesday. The case had already been adjourned from a previous sitting of the WRC in May which the former world super bantamweight champion was unable to attend due to a work commitment in India.
