The support from the Limerick motor dealer is greatly appreciated by the Clerk of the Course and Limerick Motorclub representative Cathal Mansell.

The Lyons name is synonymous with Irish Rallying. They have always been a strong motorsport family representing and supporting Limerick Motorclub at club and national level. Keith says, “Motorsport is a big passion of ours and is also integral to the JLR brand, in particular Jaguar Motorsport and Land Rover off-roading. We are delighted that the rally is being held locally in Murroe and to be able to showcase our brands at such a fantastic national sporting event."
