There were 512 deaths of people by suicide in Ireland in 2021, but late registrations impact comparability across years

Late Registrations

All deaths attributable to external causes are referred to the Coroner. 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.
