Sixteen deaths in calendar 2023 The RSA release dated 1 January 2024 lists sixteen road deaths in Tipperary during the full year 2023.
Read the same table In that release, Dublin and Cork each recorded fifteen. Tipperary’s sixteen was the highest county count.
The scope of the county table Table 2 covers the Republic’s 26 counties. It is not an all-island ranking or a table of rural local roads alone.
A dated provisional snapshot The release labels its figures provisional. This episode uses that 1 January 2024 release, not a later revision.
Count is not rate Sixteen is a number of deaths, not a population-adjusted rate or an explanation of why any collision happened.
From county data to local review How should county-level figures inform assessments of particular roads?
