Colin O’Donoghue and Kieran O’Donoghue are also contesting their first rally since the 2022 Rally of the Lakes – this entry has now been withdrawn.

Connor Murphy and Sean Collins are another local crew on the entry list, as are Denis Hickey and Sean Collins.

Robert Counihan and Timmy Kelly are out in their usual Toyota Corolla while Rahtmore’s Anthony Cronin drivers his class 11F Honda Civic

Pat Looney is the only Kerry driver in the historic section, and he will be co-driven by Amy Burke.

Mark O’Leary and Bob Moran are two more local drivers heading to Waterford this weekend.Sean Nolan is on co-driving duty for Cork’s Cyril Casey while Fossa’s Sam Leech is fourth on reserve but should get the call up before the weekend.
