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
Lyrics and Vocals: American singer-songwriter Neil Leslie Diamond(Neil Diamond).
Neil Diamond.
In “Christmas Prayers,” Neil Diamond sings with a quiet tenderness that mixes grief and comfort. He’s holding a loved one close in memory, even as the season highlights that vacant chair, and he turns that same ache into something gentle and perhaps more sustaining.
Christmas Prayers.
Christmas Prayers.
You’re in my Christmas prayers, And in my Christmas dreams. In every Christmas story told, And every song I sing, In every song I sing. When I hear people laugh, And I see children play, Reminds me of that photograph, Of us on Christmas Day, It’s us on Christmas Day. I see you standing there, And smiling down on me. As I untie the gifts that lie, Beneath our Christmas tree. And every Christmas day, I know I’ll find you there. You’ll always be the answer to, My every Christmas prayer, My every Christmas prayer. Grandmas, grandpas, fathers, mothers, Friends I’ve loved dear, Sisters, brothers, sons and daughters I once played with, Aunts and uncles I once stayed with. Their story will be told, As long as love recalls. Those loved ones smiling down on me, The greatest gift of all, The greatest gift of all. The loved ones far and near, Will be forever there. It’s Christmas up in Heaven too, With love beyond compare, With love beyond compare. Don’t have to read the book of life, Behind the veil of tears, You’ll always be right here with me, And in my Christmas prayers. You’re in my Christmas prayers.

If We Make It Through December.
If We Make It Through December.
If we make it through December, Everything’s gonna be all right, I know. It’s the coldest time of winter, And I shiver when I see the falling snow. If we make it through December, Got plans to be in a warmer town, come summertime, Maybe even California, If we make it through December, we’ll be fine. Got laid off down at the factory, And their timing’s not the greatest in the world. Heaven knows I been working hard, Wanted Christmas to be right for daddy’s girl. I don’t mean to hate December, It’s meant to be the happy time of year, And my little girl don’t understand, Why daddy can’t afford no Christmas here. If we make it through December, Everything’s gonna be all right, I know. It’s the coldest time of winter, And I shiver when I see the falling snow. If we make it through December, Got plans to be in a warmer town, come summertime. Maybe even California, If we make it through December, we’ll be fine.

O Holy Night.
O Holy Night.
O Holy night, the stars are brightly shining, It is the night of our dear Saviour’s birth. Long lay the world in sin and error, pining, ‘Til He appeared, and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices, O night divine, O night when Christ was born. O night divine, O night, O night divine. Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother, And in His name all oppression shall cease, Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we. Let all within us praise His holy name. Christ is the Lord, Let ever, ever praise Thee, Noel, Noel, O night, O night divine, Noel, Noel, O night, O night divine. Noel, Noel, O night, O night divine.
