Garda operation targets boyracers in Kerry

A major garda garda operation in conjunction with motor rally organisers is being put in place in Killarney, Co Kerry, where up to 80,000 people are expected to congregate, this weekend, for an international event.

Senior gardaí launched the operation, midweek, in advance of the annual Rally of the Lakes featuring Irish and overseas drivers.

Gardaí have pledged to crackdown on dangerous- driving incidents, mainly by rally followers, along with putting significant resources into controlling public order.
