Dublin clubs block boxing association’s business plan

MEMBERS and officials representing Dublin’s boxing clubs have secured an injunction preventing the Irish Amateur Boxing Association from turning itself into a limited company.

Yesterday at the High Court individual members of Dublin’s boxing clubs including members of the Dublin County Board of the Irish Amateur Boxing Association (IABA) were granted an interlocutory injunction by Mr Justice Garrett Sheehan preventing the IABA, whose HQ is at the National Stadium South Circular Road, Dublin 8 from winding itself up and transferring all its operations, business and assets to a new company limited by guarantee.

The injunction will remain in place until the case has been fully determined by the High Court.
