Monaghan Motor Club has issued the following statement tonight.
Monaghan Motor Club regret to announce the postponement of the 2026 Ronnie Hawe Monaghan Stages Rally, which was scheduled to take place this Sunday, April 12th.
Due to significant logistical challenges caused by road blockades both nationwide and within Monaghan, affecting, competitors, marshals, officials, and suppliers, the club has made the difficult decision not to proceed with the
event.
This decision has not been taken lightly, and we sincerely thank all competitors who had entered.
We deeply regret making this announcement at such a late stage and assure you that every effort was made to find a solution.
The club would also like to extend our thanks to all stakeholders, sponsors, and local businesses for their continued support.
We will work closely with Motorsport Ireland and relevant authorities in an effort to reschedule the event for later this year.
