Concerns have been voiced over road deaths recorded in Ireland and Tipperary during the period 2025.
Provisional figures published by the Road Safety Authority (RSA) and An Garda Síochána show a concerning increase in road fatalities during 2025. An Garda Síochána recorded 179 fatal collisions in 2025, resulting in 190 fatalities on Irish public roads and in public places, including car parks and other non-public roads.
An RSA report, covering public roads only, in line with historic trends, found 185 deaths in 174 fatal collisions on public roads during 2025. This compares with 171 deaths in 157 fatal collisions in 2024, an 8% increase year-on-year.
The RSA highlighted increases among drivers and vulnerable road users (pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists).
Cyclist deaths were the highest recorded since 2017, while motorcyclist fatalities were the highest since 2007.
Approximately three-quarters of those killed were male, with one-quarter female.
February and June recorded the fewest fatalities (11 each), while November (21) and December (24) recorded the highest.
The average number of deaths per month in 2025 was 15, compared with 14 per month in 2024.
County Tipperary: confirmed context figures: While the RSA end-of-year release does not set out a full county-by-county total in its news statement, published RSA research provides verified longer-term context for County Tipperary.
An RSA “County Briefing on Tipperary” reports that between 2018 and 2022 there were 47 fatalities in County Tipperary, representing 7% of total fatalities during that period. In a Garda Roads Policing review covering January to June 2025, a county table listed Tipperary with 2 fatalities at that point in the year (part of a national total of 82 to end-June).
An Garda Síochána Assistant Commissioner Ms Catharina Gunne described 2025 as “a devastating year” for families and communities impacted, and said Gardaí will continue targeted enforcement in 2026 focusing on the most dangerous behaviours.
Driver arrested after attempting to evade Mandatory Intoxicant Checkpoint in North Tipperary.
A pregnant female motorist was arrested yesterday in North Tipperary, following an incident at a Mandatory Intoxicant Checkpoint.
Gardaí observed a vehicle attempting to avoid the checkpoint. Members attached to Killaloe Garda Station stopped the car and spoke with the driver. A roadside drug test returned a positive indication for cocaine. Checks also indicated the vehicle was uninsured.
The pregnant driver was arrested in connection with the alleged road traffic offences and was brought to Nenagh Garda Station. The vehicle was seized and enquiries are ongoing. The results of the blood sample are currently being awaited.
23 new speed camera zones for Tipperary, as national expansion goes live on January 1st 2026.
A total of 390 new safety camera zones will become operational nationwide from January 1st 2026, bringing the overall number of safety camera zones to 1,901, An Garda Síochána has confirmed.
Gardaí say the primary purpose of the safety camera programme is to reduce speed-related collisions, lessen injuries and save lives, against the backdrop of 187 road deaths recorded so far in 2025 – the highest level on Irish roads in more than a decade.
Tipperary and North Tipperary.
Tipperary is set to receive 23 new safety camera zones as part of the rollout. Updated GoSafe listings for the county include new zones on the M7 and multiple zones on the R498 latter the Nenagh to Thurles road.
In North Tipperary, motorists travelling through Latteragh are also being reminded to observe temporary measures associated with ongoing works on the R498, with Tipperary County Council publishing traffic management updates and roadworks speed-limit orders for the route.
In a Garda message, Assistant Commissioner Ms Catharina Gunne said the vast majority of drivers obey speed limits, but a “small persistent cohort” continue to drive in excess of posted limits, putting others at risk. The aim of targeting high-risk areas, Gardaí say, is to reduce fatal and serious-injury collisions.
A full list of all safety camera zones is published on the Garda website, including downloads for navigation providers HERE
