Taylor's rematch with Amanda Serrano is expected to be held in The 3Arena
The Government will revisit the possibility of funding a Katie Taylor fight at Croke Park once it doesn't clash with the Heineken Cup final at the Aviva Stadium.
Croke Park is Taylor's dream choice for the contest but GAA Headquarters has been ruled out on that date after Taylor's promoter Eddie Hearn put the high cost of security around the fight as the reason to end talks.Hearn had called on the Irish Government to play its part in the event taking place at the 82,000 capacity venue.
“If anyone wants to put in submissions in relation to any other time or venue we'll obviously look at it. "In this instance, that one isn’t going ahead on May 20th but we would love Katie Taylor to be fighting in Croke Park. Minister Byrne explained that Department officials independently examine every proposal that comes in and make a recommendation that is subsequently either accepted or rejected by the Government.
This year’s figures see a €1m increase in allocation to the National Governing Bodies on 2022 funding. The total core funding to the NGBs in 2023 is €16m.
