Tragedy at Killarney Rally | Ireland News

A tragic crash at the Killarney Forestry Rally in February 2022 claimed the life of 22-year-old Eoin McCarthy when his car plunged into a flooded stream during Stage Four—just days after Storm Eunice. Stage commander Declan O’Leary, who was on-site that morning, later testified he believed the rally should have been canceled given the dangerous weather. He received a chilling WhatsApp video of the crash before deleting it and immediately coordinated emergency response, using his authority to halt the stage and call for help. Radio controller Anthony O’Connor echoed the grim reality, sharing his frustration over delays in securing a helipad and offering heartfelt condolences to the McCarthy family as the inquest continues.
