Rally Ireland course altered slightly

Organisers of Rally Ireland have discovered that the home of a close family member of the victims of yesterday's domestic fire in Omagh is adjacent to it's Sloughan Glen stage which is scheduled to run on Saturday. 

Out of respect the organisers have shortened the stage, which makes up runs 11 and 14 of the 20 stage rally, and have diverted the competing cars and spectators away from the area. 

The spectator areas near the village of Lack, in Tyrone will no longer operate.
