Good samaritan's forgetful moment prompts gardaí to share urgent safety warning
Gardaí have warned of risks surrounding doing lawn works near a busy road, after passing a good samaritan strimming near a road in Kilkenny. With overgrowth in the summer, some people like to take matters into their own hands and cut the bushes back to try and ensure that people can see past them, or for cyclists who may have to cycle out a bit more into the road to avoid them. However, Gardaí in Kilkenny had to warn a citizen who was strimming near the road that he should be careful; as while he wasn't committing an offence, they were just ensuring that he would be safe in an era of high speeds and dangerous driving. Gardaí have warned of risks surrounding doing lawn works near a busy road, after passing a good samaritan strimming near a road in An Garda Síochána Kilkenny/Facebook 'It's just too dangerous…' Gardaí wrote on their Kilkenny Facebook page. 'One of our lads was travelling to Paulstown a few minutes ago when he noticed a good citizen strimming on the verge. It adjoins the Cycle lane on the side of the road. 'The member stopped for a chat and to warn the man of the dangers and it transpired he had forgotten his Hi Vis. Unfortunately with great speeds and distracted driving, even a Hi Vis might not be enough but it's a good start. 'It is important to point out that this decent individual was not committing any offence but when you've attended fatal collisions, you're just that bit more alarmed.' Gardaí were commended for raising awareness of the safety issue, with one commenting ''Be safe, be seen' isn't just a motto. It's the truth. Too many times I've almost missed someone because of poor choice of clothing for what they were doing, where they're going etc. 'I'm glad I have good eye sight, but not everyone does. Not everyone pays attention constantly. As a cyclist, pedestrian, driver I always aim to be seen. It's a fundamental safety concern I have.' 'Even a white t-shirt if he didn't have anything brighter,' another commented, while another added 'I all ways wear my hi viz when i'm walking, it's common sense.'

Murder investigation launched after death of Tipperary man
Gardai have launched a murder investigation following the death of a man in Co Tipperary earlier this week. The body of 49-year-old Ian Walsh, who was a staff member of Irish Rail, was discovered at his home in Carrick-On-Suir in the early hours of Monday morning. A post-mortem examination has been carried out by the Deputy State Pathologist, Dr Yvonne McCarthy, and preliminary results have been provided to the investigation team. Gardai have launched a murder investigation following the death of a man in Co Tipperary earlier this week. Pic: Facebook Gardai have today launched a murder investigation. A Garda spokesperson said: 'Gardaí are appealing for anyone with information related to this incident to come forward, including any road users who were in the area of Cregg Road, Carrick-On-Suir, Co. Tipperary, between 8pm on Friday 1st August 2025, and 3.30am on Monday 4th August 2025. 'Additionally, anyone who may have camera footage (including dash-cam) and was traveling in the area at the time is asked to make it available to Gardaí.' Ian Walsh. Pic: Facebook They added: 'Anyone with any information is asked to contact Clonmel Garda Station on (052) 617 7640, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.' Tributes have been pouring in for Mr Walsh, with him being remembered by his colleagues at Irish Rail and railway enthusiasts as someone who 'went far beyond the extra mile.' Táilte Tours, who knew Mr Walsh as a signaller at the Cork railway station who was a 'huge supporter' of their operation, said 'Ian ran five railtours of his own over the course of the mid to late 2000s, and was very much a pioneer in 'outside the box' tours in Ireland, starting them from locations such as Waterford and Limerick, in an era when tours were generally based in Dublin or Belfast. 'He was more than happy to pass his experience and expertise on when we started operations a few years ago; for those of you who enjoyed the 'surprise' rare track moves on our Cork-based railtours, you can thank Ian, who went far beyond the extra mile to ensure our operations went off without a hitch. 'He had a wonderful knowledge of the Iarnród Éireann system and its people, and had also developed a passion for Bus Éireann operations, diligently recording the last runs on several rural routes in the south east as they disappeared, quickly becoming a friend to bus drivers in the Cork and Waterford areas.' Iarnród Éireann also paid tribute to him, saying that they were shocked at the death of their 'well known and popular' colleague.
