In the 90's cycling governed by the Federation of Irish Cyclists (FIC) was divided into 5 regions, each of them would promote their own areas, Dublin was in the Mid East Region and the MER Committee ran a series of league races.
This video (in 1997 I think) is of one of those events, a handicapped race at the Boot Inn in north Co. Dublin. The race usually did between 40 and 50kms around a circuit of 8kms.
I think the winner of this race was Stephen Whelan, I'm not sure of all the riders and results.
Some of the riders were;- Keith Bannon, Stephen Whelan, Bernie McCormack, David Peelo, Sean Lally, Seamus Kennedy, David McQuaid, Gary McQuaid, David Lane, Leny Corrigan, Ger Madden, Paul Kennedy, Sean Bracken, Mick Wall...
Race organised by Richie Beatty and the MER Committee
If anyone can add names or results, please post them in the comments section of this video
