Two arrested following suspected sulky race in Limerick

Unlike organised harness races on closed roads, races occasionally take place amid traffic on open roads such as this incident in 2012 between Cork and Mallow, raising concerns about animal welfare and road safety.

Two men have been arrested in relation to alleged dangerous driving after a suspected sulky race in Limerick early today.

The incident occurred on the N24 Tipperary Road just before 8am when gardaí on patrol noticed a group of vehicles involved in what was believed to be a sulky race.
