Eric Donovan believes Ireland's women are in a strong position to win a boxing medal at this summer's Olympics.
Aoife O'Rourke, Kellie Harrington and Michaela Walsh have all booked their places at the Tokyo Games as they aim to follow in the footsteps of Katie Taylor.
Speaking on RTE's Morning Ireland, Donovan said: "We have seven boxers, a huge number, going to Tokyo. We're in a very strong position.
"We're the strongest sport when it comes to the Olympics. We have a conveyor belt of talent and are a proud boxing nation.
"I definitely think there will be a medal. The women are probably in a stronger position than the men.
"Aoife O'Rourke, Kellie Harrington, Michaela Walsh, over the last three or four years they have been consistently standing on the podiums at world and European championships."
He added: "They are after coming through one of the hardest qualifiers, the European continent, against some medal hopes.
"Kellie Harrington has beaten two medal hopes. Michael Walsh beat medal hopes.
"Aoife O'Rourke from Roscommon, only 23 years of age and a European champion from 2019. She’s a dark horse and could do very well."
