One gentleman was also charged with endangerment. It was extremely busy all weekend. The main of the arrests were made on Friday and Saturday during the day.
Inspector Sheridan admitted the numbers of those arrested were up this year compared to last year.
“The arrests were more than double this year, but there was also a bigger attendance at the rally this year. In the main, the vast majority of people were well behaved and followed the rally as spectators. There was just an element of those who engaged in dangerous driving, which resulted in the arrests.
“With regards to dangerous driving offences, they were happening during the day in Letterkenny. In relation to public order offences, they made up a combination of those who where at the rally and those who weren’t. Letterkenny was very busy on Saturday as there were also many people out watching the football.
“The vast, vast majority of people did behave themselves, there was just a small element in those engaging in anti social behaviour.
“The vast majority have been remanded back in court on July 4. We have a couple in Letterkenny Court this morning and some last night. It’s up to the court to deal with them now going forward.
“We had lots of gards out on the ground. A lot of people benefited from a caution regarding their behaviour. Those people were not arrested.”
