Apply in writing to Fingal and the Gards, post it to the North Pole and await your permission from the tooth fairy.

North Dublin is closed to everyone for everything. Except the Tour De Italy.

To be clear anything anyone wishes to "put on" would be akin to the Boards TTs we have run. Basically everyone does so at their own risk and would have to consider any insurance issues themselves

Given the attitude clearly shown by the Gardai in the county I would suggest anyone arranging such an event gives serious consideration to how the Gardai may react to them as "organisers".

Now I do not believe TTs fall under s74 of the 1993 Roads Act if all relevant laws are observed. However I would certainly not want to become a test case on interpretation of the law, and it's clear that other organisations in the county (Triathlon and Road clubs) have attempted (in many cases unsuccessfully) to arrange races and/or TTs with the support of both local authority and the Gardai

What if ya ran it without coming across any or as few as possible roundabouts and major intersecctions.
Say for eg Balrothery Tennis courts to say Corduff National school or the turn for Boughil.
Only 1 roundabout to contend with and straight as can be.

Well riding up a hill one at a time in bellewstown has seemingly now annoyed someone enough that we can't do it, so I am at a loss.

But stamullen were able to let me race with 100 others in A4 through Naul village with Garda support today.....I agree it's confusing.

So we need rolling road closures to ride up Bellewstown? One at a time?

No you need the approval of the local authority.

1993 Road Traffic Act..

74.—(1) In this section “road race” means a prescribed class of race, time trial or speed trial on a public road involving persons, vehicles or animals.

(2) A person who intends to hold, organise or promote a road race shall give at least one month's notice (or such other period of notice as may be prescribed by the Minister) in writing to the road authority and to the Superintendent of the Garda Síochána within whose district the road race is to be held.

(3) (a) A road authority may by notice in writing served on a person who intends to hold, organise or promote a road race or, where the name of that person cannot be ascertained by reasonable inquiry, by notice published in one or more newspapers circulating in the area in which the road race is to be held—


(i) prohibit the holding of the road race,

(ii) prohibit the holding of the road race unless specified conditions, restrictions or requirements are complied with,

(iii) impose specified conditions, restrictions or requirements in relation to the holding of the road race which must be complied with.
( e.g rolling road closures, Garda Assistance or whatever)

(b) The conditions under paragraph (a) may include the giving of security or the provision of an indemnity.

(4) Any person who contravenes subsection (2) or a notice under subsection (3) shall be guilty of an offence.

(5) A road authority may recover from a person who holds, organises or promotes a road race, as a simple contract debt in any court of competent jurisdiction, any costs reasonably incurred by it—

(a) to facilitate the holding of the road race,

(b) to repair damage to or remove defacement from the public road arising from the holding of the road race.

(6) The Minister may make regulations for the purposes of this section and such regulations may in particular make provision for—

(a) requirements in relation to the making and consideration of objections,

(b) requirements in relation to the giving of security or the provision of an indemnity.
