I know this is a difficult topic but if Professor Boer could give me an answer to my questions in two or three sentences given the limited time, I would be grateful. The first thing that struck me was that looking at the number of deaths taking place in the Netherlands, which is 5.2%, if you were to compare that with the Irish population and if we had the Dutch system, that might put us at something like 2,500 deaths per year.

This is similar to the number of deaths we were having during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is quite arresting when one considers the number of deaths. How has that increased the way it has as Professor Boer has described? Are all cases reported and are figures stabilising?
