Tragedy at Killarney Forestry Rally | Cork News

A tragic rally accident claimed the life of 22-year-old Eoin McCarthy during the Killarney Forestry Rally on February 20, 2022, when he plunged into a stream after veering off a bridge—submerged for five to six minutes. Despite heroic efforts by medics, including CPR and defibrillation, his condition was deemed hopeless. Logistical delays in medical evacuation didn’t change the outcome. The inquest also examined rally conditions, weather, and evolving tracking tech, while the family criticized Motorsport Ireland for lack of follow-up—prompting an apology from the Clerk of the Course. Paramedics confirmed Eoin was breathing when transferred, giving him every chance to survive. The inquest is nearing its conclusion.
