Death of Craig Breen
The event was overshadowed by the death of Hyundai works driver Craig Breen, who was killed in the pre-event test after the front-left of his Hyundai i20 N Rally1 collided with a pole on a road. This was the first competitor-involved fatal accident since Jörg Bastuck at the 2006 Rally Catalunya. His co-driver James Fulton was uninjured. Breen's funeral took place on 18 April 2023 at The Sacred Heart Church in Ferrybank. Several members from the WRC family attended the funeral, including Fulton, Breen's former co-driver, Paul Nagle and Breen's teammate at Hyundai, Dani Sordo.

In tribute to Breen, Moonraker Forestry Rally, the second round of the Irish Forestry Championship, was postponed. The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile announced his car number 42 would be retired from the rest of the season. Hyundai also decided to participate the event with a special livery on two cars, with the third car withdrawn from the event in honor of Breen.
