The N24 road is a national primary road in Ireland forming a route from Limerick to Waterford, running through County Tipperary and passing Tipperary town, Cahir, Carrick-on-Suir and Clonmel. The route begins at its junction with the Limerick Southern M7 ring road (Junction 29).
Pallasgreen and Oola are two small villages through which the route passes before reaching Tipperary town. Before the town the road passes by Limerick Junction, a major railway intersection for the region where the Dublin-Cork and Dublin-Limerick lines meet. Bansha lies further southeast along the route, and the road passes under and then meets the M8 Cork–Dublin motorway at Junction 10 just outside Cahir. The N24 passes north of Cahir, turning east towards Clonmel. A bypass brings the road around the north of Clonmel. After Clonmel the N24 meets the N76 which leads to Kilkenny and the many towns and villages which the road passes or travels near. After the roundabout, the N24 continues east towards Carrick-on-Suir. From here the road undulates in an east/southeast/south direction to reach Waterford. The road ends at the start of the M9 motorway which heads to Dublin, Naas, Carlow, Kilkenny and Mullinavat.
