MAJOR UPHEAVAL AT MOTORSPORT IRELAND

Word is coming through of a huge amount of resignations from various committees in Motorsport Ireland.
The full Rallies Comittee, I am led to believe, have resigned in mass today (Thursday, December 10, 2009). And the story that is breaking is that many more sub committees members are following the same line. And while no official communique has been issued by Motorsport Ireland, the problem seems to have stemmed from the appointment of Mr John Naylor, outgoing President of Motorsport Ireland, to a place on the Rallies Committee. John Naylor has just two days ago been presented with the Ivan Webb Memorial Trophy at the Dunlop Awards gala lunch for what Motorsport Ireland described as an 'Award for the Most Outstanding Contribution to Irish Motorsport.'  While it is difficult to put a definite number on the resignations, the amount of people involved is well over 20.

This, I believe is the first time that such a revolt has happened.
