In the past week, our world champion Katie Taylor spoke about her impending retirement. She believes she will retire at the end of the year. Senator Andrews raised this matter before. Katie Taylor is an absolute model of supreme athletic ability in Ireland. We should all look up to her and support her. During the summer, she and her husband visited Tiglin and spent time with the students on the programme there. This had a real impact on them.

Katie Taylor was recognised as lady of the year at the American Partnership's Nollaig na mBan event in Boston. She was given €10,000 to appear. She said she wanted to give this to Tiglin, the charity she visited. The organisation was so impressed by her speech and what she said about Tiglin that it doubled the amount to €20,000. Investing back in the very community she came from shows the nature of the athlete. In her interview with RTÉ Sport, she said she has a strong desire to end her professional boxing career in Croke Park. Her most recent fight was in July 2025. Ending her career on a high note in Croke Park would be amazing. Croke Park and the GAA have their own decisions to make but facilitating our world-class athlete's request would be momentous. It would be wonderful for the people of Ireland and for those who look up to Katie in the world of sport.
