Nicky, Chair of Ballagh BC, is former IABA President, an IABA Hall of Fame inductee, and the recipient of an IABA Services to Boxing Award. He is the current President of Wexford County Board
Anna, Nicky and Niall will attend cultural events while in Paris, and also travel to the North Paris Arena, to watch #TeamIreland‘s Dean Clancy, Jack Marley Aidan Walsh and Grainne Walsh contest their opening Olympic bouts.
Niall O’Carroll says “It’s a great honour to travel with Anna and Nicky to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games – their decades-long commitment to boxing is nothing short of remarkable. Anna and Nicky, and the thousands of others in clubs throughout the Association who give relentlessly of their time, skill and knowledge, are the lifeblood of our sport. I’m looking forward to sitting in the stands of the North Paris Arena with them, as we witness our historic Paris team begin their Olympic campaign”
