I must reply to your comment JB in defence of RPM. Tell me a company in Ireland who could do a better job of making programs of the ITRC rounds, who have the equipment and other resources, who have an established name in quality programming, who have a good relations with a major TV channel such as UTV despite only half-hour slots at a time, and who are so well known by drivers and rally organisers alike.
My point is, you may complain about Plum, but we wouldn't have a good program of Donegal, Killarney, Galway or Cork otherwise. Infact, we might not have a program at all!
