Kildare has consistently ranked among the top counties for serious motorcycle injuries over the past decade.
New RSA data covering the period from 2014 to 2023 shows that Kildare accounted for around 4% of all motorcyclists hospitalised following crashes nationwide.
This places Kildare among the ten counties with the highest number of motorcycle-related hospital admissions, alongside areas such as Dublin, Cork, and Meath.
More concerning is the number of motorcyclists from Kildare who sustained the most severe, life-altering injuries.
These cases, which involve serious trauma such as major fractures, brain injuries, or internal organ damage, made up approximately 3% of the national total.
Already in 2025, 10 motorcyclists have lost their lives on Irish roads (1 January – 27 April).
That’s an increase from 7 fatalities during the same period in 2024 and 4 fatalities during the same period in 2023.
A large number of incidents involved young male motorcyclists aged 15–34.
Nearly half of clinically serious injuries occurred in single-vehicle collisions.
Lower limbs (29%), chest (17%), and head (15%) were the most affected areas.
