File to be sent to DPP after gardaí quiz 10 Travellers on sulky road race

Gardaí are preparing to send a file to the DPP after questioning 10 Travellers who took over a main road for a sulky race.

Up to 60 Travellers took part in the highly dangerous race on the N20 Cork to Mallow road on May 5 last, during which cars and vans — sometimes four abreast — took over most of the width of the road as they followed the two sulkys.

The race was staged between the Blarney and Whitechurch junctions and a number of Travellers refused to pull over for gardaí who tried to intercept them.
