An inquest records an accidental death verdict in the case of rally driver Eoin McCarthy, who dies following an incident at the Killarney Forestry Rally in February 2022. The inquest is held following his death on 20 February 2022, with the court concluding the circumstances amount to accidental death.
Motorsport Ireland is referenced by family members calling for changes after the fatal crash. According to one report, McCarthy’s sister says she and her family hope Motorsport Ireland “learns from the mistakes of the past.” Other coverage similarly urges Motorsport Ireland to take lessons forward, focusing on prevention and oversight after a driver’s death, while the inquest verdict itself remains the central finding across sources.
