Tyrone priest calls for rally ban

A Co Tyrone priest is calling for rallying to be banned after a parishioner died in Donegal at the weekend.

Fr Pat O'Hagan says the rally organisers have to ask themselves some difficult questions following the death of the Strabane teenager on Saturday.

Eighteen-year-old Richard McGrath was accidentally struck by a competing vehicle outside Rathmelton, north of Letterkenny.

The rally, which attracts up to 50,000 spectators, was ended prematurely as a mark of respect.

Six years ago, two race marshals were killed at the Donegal International Rally.
