Nenagh, August 7, 2025 – Gardaí have launched an appeal for information following a fatal traffic incident that claimed the life of a man in his 40s on the R445 near Nenagh, County Tipperary, on Wednesday night.

Emergency services were called to the scene shortly after 10:10 PM following reports of a single-vehicle collision outside a premises on the Old Dublin Road in Nenagh town.
