Clann Naofa Boxing Academy, Dundalk, Co Louth was established in 2004 by Jim O’Neill, formerly of the Lower Falls, Belfast. Jim’s aim was to provide an opportunity for young people from the sprawling working-class estate which was greatly lacking in facilities. In the intervening years Jim has not only helped train Katie Taylor and Katie Harrington but has produced his own local champions, Deárbhla Tinnelly and Evelyn Igharo.
