The dispute between Motorsport Ireland and the Galway Motor Club that could have brought serious repercussions for the governing body of the sport has been resolved following an agreement between legal representatives of both parties. 

Earlier this month the sport’s governing body, the Irish Motorsport Federation (IMF) trading as Motorsport Ireland (MI) were served with a High Court order preventing them from going ahead with a meeting in Portlaoise to discuss rally dates for 2024/2025.
