DUN LAOGHAIRE-Rathdown County Council is determined not to miss the boat for the next round of applications due for the Volvo Ocean Race writes Claire Murphy in yesterday's Evening Herald. The council is already discussing the 2012 competition after missing out as a stopover destination to Galway for both last year's and next year's races. Galway beat off opposition from several rival cities around the world to stage the event last year and has already been selected as the stopover for the end of the transatlantic leg from Boston in 2011.
