The National Cancer Registry Ireland (NCRI) has advised me that the official Central Statistics Office (CSO) figures on cancer deaths by year of death are currently only available up to 2019, and that the publication of 2020 figures is not expected until November 2022.
Based on age-specific details obtained from the CSO the NCRI's annual mortality figures for those aged 0-24 are as follows.
|
Year of death |
Number of deaths from all tumours |
|
2016 |
38 |
|
2017 |
37 |
|
2018 |
37 |
|
2019 |
38 |
These figures have been cross-checked against, and confirmed to match, those published on the CSO website in CSO Vital Statistics Annual Reports for those years.
