Tipp drivers urged to prepare for festive journeys

As thousands of extra cars take to the county's roads over the coming days for the festive season, Gardaí are urging people to be vigilent. 

So far this year, four people have lost their lives on Tipperary's roads.

The county's road network is expected to be very busy over the holidays as people travel to visit family or friends. 

Garda Niamh Dooley of the Cahir Traffic Corp says it's essential that drivers prepare for additional delays on the roads.
