The number of people treated for stabbing injuries in 2025 is up from 170 on the previous year, and marks the highest level since 2011
The number of stabbing victims being treated in hospital has risen to a 15-year high.
215 people were treated for "knife assault" injuries last year.
The number of people treated for stabbing injuries in 2025 is up from 170 on the previous year, and marks the highest level since 2011.
It's an increase of 26 per cent on 2024 and is the biggest annual increase for at least two decades, according to data obtained by the Irish Times.
Most of the incidents reported took place in people's homes, rather than in public spaces.
However, it's believed the true number of victims treated in hospital could be higher, because records only include those serious enough to be admitted for inpatient treatment.
The figures don't include those treated in emergency departments for less serious injuries.
