Killarney club backs court hard line on ‘boy racers’

The Killarney and District Motor Club have welcomed this week’s court decision to disqualify 12 drivers, each for a period of two years, following anti-social behavior during the Rally of the Lakes last May.

The popular event, a counting round of the Irish Tarmac Championship, has along with the Donegal International Rally, been blighted by so-called “boy racers” who caused serious disruption. Indeed, it is estimated that the Killarney club has invested in excess of €100,000 over a decade to assist gardaí in trying to rid the rally of this unwelcome and totally unacceptable behavior.
