If you havn't been to Ireland to either watch or compete in events you are seriously missing out.

Been over several times for Wexford, Waterford and the one at Clonakilty - or "clinky clonky" as we used to call it

The locals love it Was doing chase car one year and we were parked up waiting for the rally car by a church. There was a notice stuck on the church notice board advising the locals that the Sunday Church Service was cancelled this particular Sunday as the priest was the stage start marshal on one of the stages

Over here all we ever get is objections over noise and the local N.I.M.B.Y.'S complaining

Ireland is the place to be
