Statement by TUV party chairman Cusher councillor Keith Ratcliffe:
“Having been involved in efforts to save the 2024 Tandragee 100 right up until yesterday I am deeply disappointed that, once again, what should be a highlight in the road racing calendar will not take place. I am disappointed for enthusiasts of the sport and particularly upset for the clerk of the course, Anne Forsythe, who put in an incredible effort to overcome the challenges.
“Yesterday, in what proved to be a last ditch effort to save the race, I had arranged a meeting with the council chief executive and the Department for Infrastructure but the repairs which are needed for the road simply will not be carried out in time.
“I would like to commend all those who used their best endeavours to save the race but sadly we were unsuccessful. I trust that the disappointment at this news will not result in despair but rather a renewed resolve to have these issues resolved in good time for 2025.”
