Up to 25 people arrested during international rally
The arrests were made during the International Rally of the Lakes. Seven drink drivers were among those arrested. Huge crowds flocked into the area for the three-day event, which had hotels, guesthouses, pubs and restaurants doing a busy trade. B&Bs within a three-mile radius of the town were full.
“'We think crowds were slightly up on last year. Saturday night was very busy,” said Sgt Ray Walsh, Killarney. The rally, in which 150 crews competed, is reckoned to be worth €20m to the area. Killarney Fire Brigade was called to the scene when a car went on fire at the Lewis Road car park, on Saturday night.
