Killarney and District Motor Club officials withdraw appeal against €5,000 fine

The Irish Examiner understands the Killarney club has withdrawn its appeal and has agreed to meet with officials from Motorsport Ireland

Motorsport Ireland's decision to issue the Killarney and District Motor Club with a €5,000 fine along with a 15-month ban of three club officials following an investigation into the 2019 Rentokil Initial Killarney Historic Rally has taken another twist.

The Irish Examiner understands the Killarney club has withdrawn its appeal and has agreed to meet with four officials from Motorsport Ireland. Two of the three officials banned have also withdrawn their individual appeals. Although there is no fixed date for this meeting (due to Covid-19 restrictions) it seems it will be at a Limerick venue.
