Kildare listed as one of 9 counties with no road fatalities in 2025 so far

County Kildare has been listed as one of the nine counties which has experienced no road fatalities so far this year.

As reported by the Irish Independent, a total of 34 people have died on Irish roads so far this year, in comparison to the 47 people who were killed in the same period last year.

The publication also noted that experts are perplexed that Ireland posted a near-30pc increase in deaths last spring, before the country conversely recorded a decline in deaths over the summer and into autumn.

So far this year, the fatalities consist of 17 drivers, eight pedestrians, three passengers, five motorcyclists and one pedal cyclist.

Kildare ranks alongside Waterford, Clare, Tipperary, Louth, Wicklow, Monaghan, Leitrim and Longford as the counties which have recorded no road fatalities thus far.

Last year, a high number of road fatalities were recorded across Ireland - a total of 174 people died in 160 fatal collisions in 2024.

The figures, which were published by the Road Safety Authority (RSA) on January 1 last, followed an analysis from provisional fatal collision reports compiled from An Garda Síochána.
