Statement from Chairman of the Motorsport Commission Regarding Killarney Disturbances

Motorsport Ireland has completed a comprehensive review of the Killarney International Rally in the light of the recent publicity which linked the Rally to public order disturbances in Killarney both on Saturday and Sunday night last, 29th and 30th April.

We are more than satisfied that the event itself was well planned and run in a highly professional manner and that it was enjoyed by the large crowds, which behaved in a way to be expected from people attending such an event.
