The data requested by the Deputy is not yet available.
All deaths that occur in the State must be registered within 3 months from the date of death; for example, a death that occurred in April 2020 may not be registered until July. Furthermore, all deaths involving COVID-19 are reportable to the Coroner's office and are registered on receipt of the Coroner's certificate.
The Central Statistics Office (CSO) is scheduled to publish Quarter 1 (Q1) 2020 data in August 2020, allowing time for COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 deaths to be registered for that quarter, while Quarter 2 (Q2) 2020 data are scheduled for publication in November 2020.
An additional information note was also published on the CSO website on the implications of COVID-19 on the processing of death certificates and is available at the following link:
