<h3>A Killarney woman, with a young child, says she is sick of the disruption that is being caused by boy racers in the town on a regular basis.</h3>
Last Saturday night &ldquo;was worse than usual&rdquo; according to the resident.&nbsp;
Gardai took an action on three separate incidents.&nbsp;
Killarney Gardai were aware of an unauthorised gathering, after following social media channels, and deployed extra resources in to the town to monitor the event.
As a result one an was arrested and two cars were impounded.
A man in his&nbsp;&nbsp;20s will appear before Killarney District Court on February 1 after being for arrested for road traffic offences in the town on Saturday night last.
The arrest was one of three separate incidents in the Deerpark area on Saturday night. It is understood he was arrested for driving while disqualified.
Two cars were also seized by Killarney Gardai for non-compliance with road traffic legislation
&ldquo;The man has since been charged and is due to appear before Killarney District Court on February 1,&rdquo; a Garda spokesperson told the Killarney Advertiser.
&ldquo;On the evening of Saturday, 15 January, Garda&iacute; in Killarney seized two vehicles, during separate incidents, for offences under Section 41 of the Road Traffic Act in the Deer Park area of Killarney.&rdquo;
The resident, who asked to remain anonymous, said she felt last weekend was particularly bad and that she and her neighbours are sick of it. &ldquo;Tonight [Saturday] for some reason, it seems to be worse than usual, although this is an issue every night of the week,&rdquo; she told the Killarney Advertiser. &ldquo;There is a huge amount of these modified cars constantly doing laps around the town. They seem to be pausing regularly to rev-up and backfire, just to make themselves more annoying. I have spoken to neighbours who also find them very disruptive. &ldquo;I have a two-year-old here who should be sleeping at 10.30 at night and instead she is screaming, like I have never heard her scream before, in absolute terror at the noises some of these cars are making. &ldquo;There are a large number of people living in this area who deserve a bit more consideration than this. &ldquo;We are so sick of this issue and we don&#8217;t know what to do about it.&rdquo;
