The Killarney and District Motor Club has been issued with a €5,000 fine and three of its officials have each received 15-month bans following an investigation into matters arising from last year’s Rentokil Initial Killarney Historic Rally. Last week, Motorsport Ireland’s top brass, the Motor Sport Council, considered the report of the joint Rally Commission and the Safety Commission investigation into the running of the event on 30th November last. Although the club were subsequently informed by a letter along with individual letters to the three officials, the information was already in the public domain before the Motor Sport Council meeting. A spokesperson for the Killarney and District Motor Club told the Irish Examiner that they have lodged an appeal but will not be paying the fine. In the letter to the club, no mention was made of the officials' suspension.
