Boxer’s €9.5k settlement in Games blow
Lewis Crocker A BOXER who missed out on the Northern Ireland squad due to what he believed was religious and political discrimination has secured a settlement.
Lewis Crocker, a Protestant, accepted €9,500 from the Ulster Boxing Council in the case he brought under the Fair Employment and Treatment Order.
The Belfast man, 21, also claimed the boxers selected for the five-strong team at the 2015 Commonwealth Youth Games in Samoa were all from a Catholic background.
Crocker said: “I am happy new procedures are being put in place to stop this happening again.”
The Irish Mirror was unable to contact the UBC for comment. TWO men allegedly caught with bundles of cash worth €2million in Garda swoops were remanded in custody yesterday.
A court heard Bernard Joyce, 44, was arrested after €1million was found in a raid on a house in Arnestown, Co Wexford, on Saturday morning.
The cash was divided into around 50 bundles of €20,000.
Joyce, with an address at Ashbourne, Co Meath, appeared in court yesterday morning charged with money laundering.
He was dressed in an orange polo shirt and tracksuit for the brief hearing.
Garda Stephen Burke told the court Joyce was cautioned and charged on Sunday at 18.23pm in Wexford Garda Station.
He made no application for bail. Judge Gerard Haughton noted the value of the cash listed on the charge sheet was for just €1 because of a punctuation mistake and asked defence solicitor Tim Cummings for permission to amend it. Joyce was remanded to
Gardai outside Wexford District Court
