A second RSA snapshot belongs in the record alongside the 2023 figure. The provisional review covering 1 January to 28 July 2024 shows two deaths in Tipperary on its county map, page 7. That review period ends before the Council’s motion of 14 October 2024, but it is not a full-year 2024 count. The earlier release’s sixteen deaths cover all of calendar 2023. Comparing sixteen with two across these unequal periods does not measure a like-for-like annual fall, nor establish an effect of a motion debated later. Our question: what do figures for matching start and end dates show?

A second dated snapshot The RSA review covers 1 January to 28 July 2024. Its figures are provisional. Two in Tipperary Page 7’s county map records two Tipperary deaths during that January-to-July period. Before the October debate That review period ends before Motion 2861 was debated on 14 October 2024. It is not a full-year 2024 total. Sixteen covers a different period The sixteen in the RSA’s 1 January 2024 release covers all of 2023, not January to July alone. Do not subtract unlike periods Sixteen for a full year versus two through July does not measure a like-for-like annual fall or a motion’s effect.
