Motorcycle plan will revolutionise sport

SPORTS Minister John O'Donoghue yesterday launched a Strategic Plan for Motor Cycling Ireland (formerly MCUI Southern Centre) which is intended to revolutionise all forms of motorcycle competition.

The new plan is underpinned by a Vision for Motor Cycling Ireland where, by the end of 2005 the sport will have a more efficient and better funded National Sports Organisation; improved standards of performance; wider support and appeal; better safety and environmental standards; and, an increase in participation numbers.

Introducing the Strategic Plan, Motor Cycling Ireland President Sean Bissett outlined some of the key changes for the future of the sport, including a name change to Motor Cycling Ireland.
