"I hear the promoter on this morning trying to get the next government to pay towards Katie fighting in croke Park or it won't happen. She's a sportswoman and it's a private business so why should our tax money go into her pocket to pay for her retirement fund Any thoughts " Maybe because she is one of the greatest athletes to come out of Ireland and it would be a great way to send her off. After all this government and previous governments have no problem wasting billions on shit. So I'd have no problem with us the tax payers helping her achieve this. It'd the least she deserves. | |||

She's a sportswoman and it's a private business so why should our tax money go into her pocket to pay for her retirement fund Any thoughts " Plenty of government has been spent on sports that are quite capable of propping themselves up (horse and greyhound racing for example) boxing at that level is more then capable of supporting itself so I don't see a reason why the government should pay towards it while plenty of other sports are ignored. | |||

"Was croke park not built for Irish sport and Irish people so why shouldn't she be allowed box ther " It was built for any sport and any nationalities Nobody is saying she can't box there The promoter want the government to step in and guarantee a few million to Katie so the promoter makes more money for himself They still won't reduce the price of the tickets the the public but will advertise from 50 euro a ticket But only sell 20 of them in a restricted view place in the stands | |||

"Is KT in temporary accommodation or on a social housing waiting list. Is she a number of years on a waiting list for medical treatment. Is she on a hospital trolley in an overcrowded A&E. Has she any of the other myriad of day to day problems that the ordinary people of this country have to suffer. I don't believe so. I hope our next government will be strong enough and sane enough to not give into the "ledgends" language and other nonsense that people go on about these highly paid sports professionals and waste taxpayers money promoting them instead of prioritizing more urgent needs in our society. Looking forward to a continuing strong economy and an equitable and sensible share out of the proceeds. "  | |||

Why not, do you not think she’ll make bank if she has it in the 3 areana or even Croke Park unsubsidized? Also “deserves”, why does she deserve it? I know you’re not advocating for or against but it seems like a uncharitable cash grab and if I was going to think very cynically on it, they may play into the jingoism and “look after our own” side of things that are increasingly popular these days | |||

I’m a huge fan of Katy and what she has accomplished but it’s time to hang up the gloves before a serious injury occurs!! | |||

"I think tax payers money should be invested in sport for every discipline and every ability, so that every child benefits from it not one professional athlete from one sport. Katie Taylor can retire from boxing with her head held high. I'm sure there are other ways she can be celebrated without a Croke Park gig paid by the next government. " Totally agree with this Sport funding needs to be equal across all codes. Gaa gets most funding every year. | |||
