Venues selected for three-year WRC Rally Ireland bid
Motorsport Ireland held a press conference to provide more details about their proposal to bring the World Rally Championship (WRC) back to Ireland for the first time since 2009. Last year, Ireland was identified as a potential candidate to host a future WRC event. Motorsport Ireland sent a letter of intent to its member motorsport clubs, asking for potential locations for a service park, rally headquarters, and media centre. Locations in Limerick, Kerry, and Waterford were inspected and deemed suitable for rotation across the initial three-year plan. However, securing government funding of 15 million Euros spread across three years is still needed to make the bid successful. The application is currently under consideration by the department of tourism, culture, art, sport, and media.
