Back to collection

The RSA’s 1 January 2024 release counted sixteen Tipperary deaths during calendar 2023. Motion 2861 followed on 14 October 2024; December acknowledged support and clarified the legal referral. The later RSA review, data dated 30 January 2025, counted two deaths for full-year 2024. The rural-local default became 60 km/h on 7 February 2025. Calendar 2024, not 2023, immediately preceded implementation. Later totals cannot establish what councillors knew in October, and chronology is not causation. Which dated evidence accompanied each review stage?
