Rally Ireland have been forced to make a late change to one of the five stages running on Sunday, 1 February.
Due to the recent deterioration of a bridge, organisers have had to shorten the popular Arigna stage. The bridge has already been closed for a number of weeks by Leitrim County Council.
'It's a pity for both the competitors and the spectators that we were forced to shorten the Arigna stage but unfortunately the matter was not within our contol.
'And despite our best efforts in recent days to ensure the running of the stage, it simply was not to be and we had no choice but to end the stage before it reached the bridge. However spectators can still look forward to what will be an excellent stage,' said Clerk of the Course, Gordon Noble.
The length of the stage is now 10.8kms and will finish at Spectator Point G, in the Moneenatieve townland.
Although Arigna has been shortened it will not impact on the times of any other stages which will run as originally scheduled.
