An MCI Directors meeting was held on Thursday 18th May 2023.
The affordability of insurance was discussed as part of the agenda. On the agenda was the financial viability of a recent quote. It was determined that this quote was not viable.
There will officially be no insurance cover for 2023.
An EGM will be held in 21 days.
Since the making of this announcement the Irish clubs have now all confirmed that their respective events have been cancelled for 2023.
This follows on from the cancellation of the Munster 100 Road Races and again the issue of insurance has caused the loss of another Irish event. The Club remains positive for the event’s return in 2024.

The North Meath Rpoad Races Committee have confirmed via a Facebook Post that their 2021 event is now cancelled due to the ongoing Coronavirus Pandemic.
2021 Kells Road Races Cancelled
It’s with deep regret we have to write this post.Due to current uncertainty with the on going covid -19 pandemic, the North Meath Road Races LTD committee have decided not to run our event in June 2021.
It would be too much of a financial loss to the club to have to cancel last minute due to covid -19 restrictions.
We would rather cancel it early so riders are not out of pocket preparing bikes for a Road Race season that is not likely to run.We are very disappointed to make this announcement but we have a duty of care to residents, volunteers, riders and of course the general public.
We look forward to returning in 2022. Any riders looking to renew their membership please contact our club Secretary Diarmaid Corcoran by phone or email [email protected] 083 4610469.
We will be in contact with anyone who entered our raffle to arrange a full refund.
We hope to have this done within the coming weeks.
We will however be launching some online raffles so watch this space.

Derek Shiels and Michael Sweeney locked in a duel at the 2019 Kells Road Races
2019 Kells Road Races Results : The Kells Road Races thankfully returned to the Irish National Road Race Calendar for the first time since 2016. Here are all the results :
Respected team owner John Burrows says he fears the unique spectacle of Irish road racing could disappear for good unless swift action is taken to safeguard the future of the sport.
As exclusively revealed by the News Letter in January, the cost of providing insurance cover for National road races in 2017 has risen by as much as £4,500. Clubs are also facing potentially crippling excess payments, which have soared from £1,000 per claim in 2016 to £2,500 this year.
In the past week, two popular races in the Republic of Ireland – the Killalane and Kells events in North Dublin and Co Meath respectively – have been called off as a direct result of spiralling insurance premiums.
Only three races are due to go ahead in the South, including the famous Skerries 100 (July 1), Walderstown (July 9) and the Faugheen 50 meeting on July 23.
It was only yesterday that I posted about this problem, and I mentioned the need for us all to support our local clubs, and buy programs when we go to the events. We really need to make sure we safeguard the future of this unique sport for many more generations to come!
2017 Killalane Road Races Cancelled Due to Soaring Insurance Costs
2017 Killalane Road Races Cancelled Due to Soaring Insurance Costs
The Killalane Road Races, will not be taking place this year, following a decision made by event organisers Loughshinny Motorcycle Supporters Club, who will continue to promote in 2017, the Skerries 100 scheduled to take place on the 1st of July.
With the various news in recent weeks about insurance premium’s going up for all Irish roads meeting’s, it’s fair to say quite a few people expected, the 2017 Irish roads calendar to be reduced in size.
In total this year, their will be seven Irish national meeting’s, the Cookstown 100, Tandragee 100, Kells(editted – also cancelled), Skerries 100, Walderstown, Armoy and Faugheen 50 Road Races.
Unfortunately from the time the above was writted Kells Road Racing Event has also unfortunately been cancelled – hence the strikethrough.
This is obviously horrific news and a major blow to the Irish Road Racing scene all over the island and should be seen as a harsh reality check for all spectators of the sport.
