Mayor congratulates Paul Nagle on World Rally Championship appointment


Mayor of Killarney Martin Grady publicly congratulated Paul Nagle at Wednesday’s Killarney Municipal District meeting.


The Mayor acknowledged the significant achievements of Killarney people on the world stage, noting Nagle’s new senior role alongside other local success stories like Oscar nominee Jessie Buckley.
The tribute comes as Nagle settles into his new position as FIA Deputy Safety Delegate for the 2026 World Rally Championship (WRC). It is a role with high prestige, previously held by rally legend Michèle Mouton.
Already this year, Nagle has been active on the ground, serving as the FIA safety delegate at both Rallye Monte Carlo and Rally Sweden.
For the 2026 season, Nagle is tasked with overseeing safety operations across eight rounds of the championship. He is sharing the global schedule with Priit Priimägi, with both men working under the new FIA Safety Delegate, Nicolas Klinger.
