Ireland had no 'excess' deaths during pandemic, new research finds 

'These figures point to the success of Ireland’s public health measures, and to the strong uptake of our covid-19 vaccination programme.' Health Minister Stephen Donnelly said.

New research by the OECD indicates Ireland had no excess deaths during the pandemic years 2020 to 2022, when factors such as rising population are taken into account.

Data in the OECD Health Working Paper No 163 refers to deaths from all causes during a period of time, above what would normally be expected.
