Debunked: Misleading post gives inaccurate reflection of Ireland s excess mortality during Covid-19 pandemic The post has been seen more than 20,000 times on Facebook. By Lauren Boland Wednesday 28 Apr 2021, 6:30 PM Apr 28th 2021, 6:30 PM 22,106 Views 0 Comments A MISLEADING POST on social media is suggesting that the number of Covid-19 related deaths in Ireland is only a “claim” by the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET). The post, which was uploaded to Facebook, claims that Ireland recorded fewer deaths over the last fifteen months compared to average deaths in the previous five years. The figure appears to have been arrived at by looking at death notices posted on RIP.ie and comparing them to the average number of notices in the previous five years.
