Local business man Dermot Healy was elected as the Clerk of the Course for the upcoming Rally of the Lakes on Tuesday night.

Killarney and District Motor Club (KDMC) held an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) in an effort to fill this role within the club.

Healy brings a wealth of experience to the position; this is his tenth time taking charge of the county’s biggest motorsport event.

His first outing was in 2011 and continued every year except for a break in 2016 before retuning in 2017.

He continued as Clerk of the Course from then until the 40th anniversary rally in 2019, a memorable event that saw Hollywood actor Michael Fassbender take part.

After another break he helmed the 2023 event before serving as Deputy Clerk of the Course to Cormac Casey in 2024.
This year’s rally will take place on May 3 and 4.

The display will feature a collection of photographs, artefacts and documents previously exhibited in Killarney, along with several newly sourced historic items.
Organisers say the exhibition will appeal to visitors of all ages, particularly students, as it outlines the life and humanitarian work of the famed cleric, who saved thousands of lives in Rome during World War II.
