Residents kick up stink over fundraising motor rally plans for ex-dump site

RESIDENTS living near a former Cork city dump are opposing plans to stage a fundraising motor rally on the site this summer.

The Cork Motor Club has applied for a special licence to stage the event on a 3.5 kilometre track around the former Kinsale Road landfill site on May 30 in aid of Marymount Hospice.

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.
