THE overwhelming majority of Donegal rally fans have behaved ‘impeccably’ a senior Garda has said following a number of arrests in the county.
Traffic Corps Inspector Michael Harrison said he wanted to thank responsible drivers attending this weekend’s event.
“I would urge them all to keep driving safey,” he said.
“There have been a number of arrests for dangerous driving since Friday and those people will appear before the courts in due course.
“However the vast majority of rally fans have behaved impeccably and I would urge them to continue to drive safely on Donegal’s roads between now and the end of the race on Sunday.”
Inspector Harrison said there had also been a number of public order arrests, but that these were down on last year.
“The event has been well-run and well-organised. Unfortunately there will be a handful of motorists who do not heed our warnings and we have patrols in several parts of the county to reassure the public,” he said.
