DATA RELEASED BY the Central Statistics Office (CSO) shows that from the beginning of the pandemic until February 2022, Covid-19 was identified as the Underlying Cause of Death (UCOD) in 5,384 cases.
Four in five deaths from Covid-19 had at least three medical conditions mentioned on the death record with 4.2 conditions being the average per person according to data released today.
The largest number of accompanying conditions of Covid-19 deaths were diseases of the respiratory system, which were reported in 5,279 (or 98%) of Covid-19 deaths.
Pneumonia was certified as a condition in 3,023 (or 56%) of Covid-19 deaths.
Dementia was reported on the death certificate of 1,041 people who died of Covid-19 (or 19%)
Chronic lower respiratory diseases were stated on 948 (or 18%) death certificates, of which 714 (or 13%) had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
From February until Wednesday 10 August there have been another 2,359 deaths from Covid-19 according to the Government’s Covid-19 Data Hub, although this figure is provisional and includes probable deaths.
91% of Covid-19 deaths occurred in persons aged 65 and over; 75% in persons aged 75 and over; and 42% in persons aged 85 and over.
Commenting on the release, Gerard Doolan, statistician in the CSO’s vital statistics division, said:
“The figures of deaths by condition do not represent the actual number of deaths from Covid-19.”
“Also, a death due to Covid-19 differs from a death with Covid-19, in that Covid-19 is identified as the main UCOD in those who died due to Covid-19, while it is one of a number of conditions listed in deaths certified as a death with Covid-19. The total number of Covid-19 deaths included in this analysis is 5,384 deaths.”
“Looking at the data, we can see that a total of 183 deaths (or 3.4%) reported Covid-19 as the single cause of death, whereas, 5,201 (or almost 97%) Covid-19 deaths were certified as having had Covid-19 and at least one other medical condition on the death certificate.”
In deaths between March 2020 and February 2022, Covid-19 was reported as a medical condition in 6,255 cases but identified as the UCOD in just 5,384 cases.
Hypertension, Chronic ischaemic heart disease, Malignant neoplasms, Diabetes mellitus, Atrial fibrillation and flutter and Heart failure were also common conditions suffered by people who died with Covid-19 as the UCOD.

I like the determination of the owner!
Great Idea…new for here….
Well done to all involved. Can’t believe RTE aren’t showing any of this. Great story.
Hope the last leg goes well for him. We’ll be there waiting! (May venture up this evening for the atmosphere!)
A lot of people have criticised this guy for spending silly money on a crazy idea! But from a business perspective this has been a master stroke! The free advertising this guy has generated couldn’t be bought! People will be “Dying” to stay there when its complete! !
“It wasn’t all plane sailing”
Fair play to him.
It’s not easy to overcome all the red tape and bureaucracy that was put in his way.
Boaty McPlaneface!
Are the wings going to be put back on when it’s in place?
Fair play to someone for making a go of a thing but isn’t glamping essentially camping in permanent structures? So sort of non camping camping like a chalet resort with a special name on it? It’s “put a fancy name on and whack the prices up”-ery.
Well done to all and the best of luck ✈️
This story is getting serious airtime! I wonder how much the owner is paying the Journal?

Hi Rob, I think the journal are posting about this because it gets alot of “clicks” so the more clicks the better for the journal.

I would be very wary of being near, or getting into, any ex-Transaero aircraft given that Transaero lied to the British authorities following the Russian state sponsored assassination of Alexander Litvinenko, an ex KGB agent and critic of Vladimir Putin. It turned out the two Russian suspects in Mr Litvinenko’s murder travelled several times on Transaero aircraft between Moscow and London carrying quantities of Plonium 210, the radioactive substance used to kill him in a London restaurant. When the British authorities asked Transaero to test their aircraft for radioactive contamination Transaero said they had and they were all clear. However, when the Metropolitan Police impounded a Transaero aircraft at Heathrow as part of their investigation into Mr Litvinenko’s murder, they found it to be contaminated with the substance used to kill him. I, for one, would not get into a Transaero aircraft, decommissioned or otherwise.
