The first step in granting a licence for the touted world boxing rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano in Croke Park has been given the green light.
Former Lord Mayor of Dublin and Independent councillor Christy Burke along with political colleague Nial Ring had tabled a motion for the Central Area Committee and an emergency motion at Monday night’s monthly meeting of Dublin City Council.
All councillors have agreed to back the granting of a licence to allow the October staging of the match to go ahead between the Bray native and the Puerto Rican.
