O'Mahony says IABA officials need to explain how Billy Walsh's contract was handled

Officials from the Irish Amateur Boxing Association and Sport Ireland will be grilled by TDs on their role in Billy Walsh's departure as the national head coach this morning.

Walsh - who led Irish boxers to medals at Olympic and World Championship level - left his position last week to take up a new post in the United States.

He says the IABA 'clearly didn't want him' after lengthy negotiations broke down.

Oireachtas Transport and Communications Chairperson, Mayo deputy  John O'Mahony says IABA officials need to explain how Billy Walsh's contract was handled.
