Large-scale motor rally proposed for site of former city dump

PLANS are being drawn up for a high profile motor rally on the site of Cork city’s former dump.

Exact details have yet to be finalised but the Cork Motor Club has applied for a special licence to stage the event on the former Kinsale Road landfill on May 30.

Event organiser Finian Toomey said the RallySprint Competition, which is being supported by the city council and Bishopstown Lions Club, has the potential to attract up to 10,000 spectators.
