PRESS STATEMENT JANUARY 2025

After what seems like an eternity since the last motorcycles took to the roads here in the Southern Centre, the RRAl are pleased to announce that the organisation has in fact secured an insurance policy to cover several events for 2025. Ever since the Road Race Clubs took the unenviable decision to leave Motorcycling Ireland last October, diligent work was undertaken by the Clubs to work together under the RRAI umbrella and leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of securing a policy that will result in our sport returning to where it belongs, among the hedges and roads in the Republic.

The RRAI sought to address the MCUl Inter-Centre Conference last December to discuss several developments, however, this was sadly denied.
