South Tipperary County ( _ga. County Thiobraid Árann Theas; known until 2002 as "Tipperary South Riding") is an administrative county in Ireland, consisting of 52% of the land area of the historical county of Tipperary. South Tipperary was established in 1898, and has had a county council ever since, with separate assize courts since 1838. The county seat is Clonmel; other important urban centres include Carrick-on-Suir, Cashel, Cahir, and Tipperary. The county's motto is "Vallis Aurea Siurensis" ( _la. The Golden Vale of the Suir).
Brendan McSherry, the Heritage Officer with South Tipperary County Council has stated that "although local people's identification is generally with the historic (and sporting) county, nevertheless we are two completely separate counties, in different government regions, for all administrative purposes".Fact|date=May 2008 The different regions refer to the fact that South Tipperary County is legally defined as being in the "southeast"' and falls under the control of that regional authority, while North Tipperary County is regarded as being in the "midwest".
Vital statistics for 2004 released by the Central Statistics Office show that South Tipperary has the lowest rate of neo-natal mortality in the country, at 0.9 occurrences per 1000 people. This compares with 2.9 for North Tipperary, and 3.4 for Dublin City.Fact|date=May 2008
