A 36-day Irish road safety crackdown led to 26 deaths, 765 DUI arrests, and record violations, sparking calls for a safety culture shift.
A 36-day road safety operation in Ireland from December 1, 2025, to January 5, 2026, resulted in 26 deaths and over 70 serious collisions, with 765 drivers arrested for driving under the influence—56% alcohol-related, 44% drug-related—and nearly 26,500 speeding violations recorded, including extreme speeds like 237 km/h in a 100 km/h zone.
Nearly 3,000 vehicles were seized, mostly for lack of insurance, and thousands were fined for distracted driving and not wearing seatbelts.
The 2025 annual toll reached 190 fatalities, the highest in over a decade, prompting Garda officials to call for a cultural shift, urging the public to report dangerous driving and prioritize safety to reduce future deaths.
