"This Area Committee fully supports Jobstown Boxing Club, its members and emerging boxers, and calls on Management to recognise the vital role the club plays in the local community in promoting fitness, inclusion, and positive engagement for young people. The club is currently operating at full capacity and unable to meet growing demand from both the local population and new arrivals. Given its long waiting list, daily engagement with over 130 local members, and clear evidence of unmet community need, the Committee urges Management to provide financial support for the club's planned expansion project. This includes assisting with the financial requirements for infrastructure improvements and essential environmental measures. The Committee further calls on Management to identify and engage with relevant funding streams and support the club in progressing this development, and to report back on practical steps and timelines?"
