November 2024

Might things be easing up?

This November saw 2931 death notices for Ireland. That’s 9.7% more than November 2020 and brings this years running total to 33757 – which is 11% (3383) ahead of where we were by this point in 2020.

However this November:

  • is down 4% (134) on November 2023, and
  • is the first November since 2020 with fewer than 3000 deaths

December’s figures will indicate whether this drop in the numbers dying is a temporary change or indicates a new trend is emerging.

How was November for your county?
