Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch's General Election campaign has met mixed responses - but one group whose vote he will definitely have is the staff at Corinthians Boxing Club.
Corinthians Boxing Club’s Head Coach Kevin Corcoran told The Hard Shoulder about Mr Hutch’s generosity to their community organisation.
“Gerald bought the building in Buckingham Street there 25 years ago outright and he gave us that building for one euro a years’ rent - that's all we have to pay,” he said.
“Now, he doesn't collect the rent, obviously, but he gave us the building to run as a boxing club free of charge, basically.”
Mr Corcoran said the club would not exist with Mr Hutch’s help.
“Everyone knows rents, especially in the inner city, are crazy at the moment,” he said.
“We probably be paying between €2,000 to €4,000 per month rent for that building, and we couldn't afford that.
“We charge the kids €2 per night for training.”
The coach said Mr Hutch very rarely visits the club, but when he’s in Ireland he always stops by.
“When he comes home, he pops down and says hello, he comes in and says hello to the lads and has a look at the kids training,” he said.
Mr Corcoran said The Monk is a “very popular man” in the area.
“There's no other man, TD, anything that would buy a building and give it away to the local community,” he said.
Mr Corcoran said Mr Hutch’s popularity could be due to his help with the boxing club, but he’s sure “people have their own reasons”.
The local community aren’t concerned with Mr Hutch’s possible involvement in organised crime, he said.
“We only see the side of Gerald as the very helpful person that he is,” Mr Corcoran said.
“We only know the man that helps us out, gives us a club for free.”
Aside from Mr Corcoran’s hopes to see The Monk in the Dáil, his wishes for the next Government include “more grants”.
“In our club, we'd like to get some more grants for the club to help us out with more equipment and more stuff like that,” he said.
“We don't pay rent in our club, but we have massive bills - we have water bills, electricity bills that we have to get paid.”

@@bjj9711 Like what most people think. If claims of a criminal attack on someone then go to the actual courts then go to civil after for damages. When you go to civil its to go for money. Most famous people settle this stuff out of court with payments as they get it all the time and its cheaper than going to court.

Do you know what else is true about the boxing club. It has struggled for funding for years. And it wasn't Garry Hutch who secured funding for them so they could keep the doors open. No while he was sunning himself in Spain with ill gotten gains it was local activists and politicans like Garry Gannon who secured funding for them

@@hippy1922your obviously not from the inner city and therefore shouldn’t have and opinion on it. Hutch and many like him of his age bracket are a product of the shameful disfunction, poverty , neglect and state abuse that North inner city had suffered since the foundation of the state. The Inner city is not a product of Gerry Hutch’s ilk, its the other way around.
