Data

There were 504 deaths by suicide in Ireland in 2020, but late registrations impact comparability across years

Online ISSN: 2009-6747
CSO statistical release, , 11am
Late Registrations

All deaths attributable to external causes are referred to the Coroner’s Court. As such, these deaths are registered after the standard three-month time period, and often much later than the 22 month deadline for CSO annual publications. The impact of late registrations on suicide statistics is growing as can be seen from the headline table in this publication.
