Killarney
Killarney, County Kerry is situated in the south-west corner of
Ireland.
The infrastructure is excellent for the purposes of welcoming
large numbers of people and, in our opinion has all the
ingredients for a perfect car launch.
Killarney is noted worldwide for its splendour; the beautiful
lakes surrounded by woodlands and its National Park
dominated by the Macgillycuddy Reeks mountain range.
Flight AccessKillarney is served by Kerry Airport, just 25km from the town.
Airbus and Boeing 757 aircraft areacapable of landing and take-off.
The airport is particularly user friendly andhas cooperated with OdysseyInternational in streamlining arrivals anddepartures for large group movements.
You might also be interested to hear that
previous clients interested in using Killarney for
a car launch enquired about access to the run
way in Kerry Airport and permission was
granted, so there are plenty of options for test
driving cars in all sorts of terrain with beautiful
surroundings.

for its entire length. The R115 is 40.5 km long;
The full length of the suggested route is 110 km.
Military Road runs north-south across the spine
of the Wicklow Mountains. It was constructed
between August 1800 and October 1809, in the

mountains to the British Army to assist them in
putting down insurgents who were hiding there.

Shannon Region
The West of Ireland is known the world over for
the beauty of its landscape and the warmth of
its welcome.
Running for over 8 km along the coast of this
region are the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher
(pictured), ranging 700 feet above the Atlantic
and standing as a giant natural rampart against
the aggressive might of the Atlantic Ocean. To
stand here in the face of a wind which has
roared its way across the Atlantic, is really a
spectacular feeling.
This is a single-terminal facility that’s compact
and easy to navigate. It was renovated at the
turn of the 21st century, delivering modern
traveller conveniences including free wireless
internet and airport shopping by The Loop, a
famous Irish airport retailer with additional
outlets in Dublin and Cork.Today, Shannon Airport serves around 1.75
million passengers every year. The main
carriers here are Aer Lingus and Ryanair, and
they are backed by several US-based airlines
and a network of charter routes connecting to
holiday destinations across Europe

in 2004. The route took in
the stunning Burren
Region, a unique lunar
landscape not far from
the castle.
We are privileged to have in this part of the
west of Ireland as unique a prize as The Burren.
The Burren can justly claim to be amongst the
most distinctive landscapes in Europe - a
grouping of phenomenon combines to make it
so. We devised a super rally through the Burren
for Continental Tyres back in 2004.
