The document provides a comprehensive analysis of crime statistics, fuel imports, flight activity, public health, and economic data from 2019 to 2020, highlighting significant declines in various sectors due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Recorded crimes decreased overall by 8.25%, while fuel imports showed a dramatic drop in diesel and petrol usage, paralleling decreased air travel and an increased reliance on home heating fuels. Economic indicators, including a rise in unemployment and government borrowing, reveal a substantial impact on Ireland's economy during this period.

Crime Source: Crime statistics are available from https://www.cso.ie/en/statistics/crimeandjustice/archive/ They are available annualised by quarter up to 2020 Q3. There are reservations about the accuracy of recorded crime statistics.

For example, comparing April 2019 and 2020, Diesel imports fell by 72.31% and Petrol by 54.56%. This indicates a significant decrease in all forms of private and commercial road vehicle usage. Imports of home heating fuels such as Bio LPG and Kerosene increased significantly indicating more people working or staying at home and heating their homes. Assuming that all imported fuels are used, emissions of CO2 from these sources dropped by 10.35% between the intervals Jan-Nov 2019 and 2020. The pattern of increasing gas usage from 2017 has been reversed. Gas utilisation is down slightly in 2020. This can be explained by any reduction in commercial office usage being offset by increased use of gas for domestic heating by people staying at and working from home. Patterns of electricity usage changed during the first lockdown. Usage peaked more than a hour later in the morning. This changed after the end of the first lockdown and has not been repeated. The third lockdown, not shown in here, may repeat the pattern of the first.

The average number of people per flight fell to 11 in April 2020, compared to 140 in April 2019. Despite a small increase in July, August and September 2020, the number of air travellers has not increased substantially April 2020.

Payments on transport, accommodation, dining and usage outside Ireland all fell substantially. Payments on utilities increased indicating the increased home working and heating of homes. The pattern of increasing GNP has been reversed in 2020. GNP in Q3 2020 is 4% lower than Q3 2019.

Fewer New Patients Entering Waiting Lists The total “queue months” – the aggregate number of months all patients on waiting lists (assuming those in the 0-3 queue are waiting an average of 1.5 months, etc.) has increased from an estimated 8,524,071 queue months to an estimated 11,172,681 queue months, an overall increase of 31.07%. This indicates a double – few newer patients being added and existing patients not being treated and waiting longer – accumulation of latent and, unfulfilled demand for health services, created by deferring non-COVID-related treatments, that may be difficult to process, leading to worse health outcomes. Residential property prices have not been significantly affected in 2020. There was a reduction in planning permissions granted for residential properties in the second quarter of 2020. In the third quarter, the number increased to pre-COVID levels. The number of building commencement notes for residential properties dropped during the period of the first lockdown and have not increased to pre-COVID levels. The total number of residential property transactions in 2020 was 47,750, 18.78% less than the 58,791 recorded in 2019. The total value of residential transactions in 2020 was €14,983,429,488, 17% less than the €18,052,264,585 recorded in 2019. Reduction in residential building and planning activity, combined with no reduction in property prices and a short and temporary reduction in sales transactions would tend to indicate a future shortage of residential properties with continuing demand and no reduction in prices.

Sample Traffic Data Taken From M50 Between Junction 7 and Junction 9 The pattern of weekday traffic volumes if very different in 2020 than in 2019. In 2019, the weekday traffic volumes show a consistent pattern with well-defined morning and afternoon peaks and hourly volumes in 8,000 to 12,000 range. In 2020, the pattern in very different. There are many weeks when the traffic volumes are less than 5,00 per hour.. The pattern of weekday traffic during the first lockdown interval shows a significant reduction in traffic volumes over the similar interval in 2019. The reduction in traffic volumes during the first lockdown interval is between 35% and 70%. This uses data from RIP.ie. The RIP.ie web site contains death notices from which more recent and more detailed mortality data can be inferred. But the data has many issues: • There are duplicate notices for the same death. • There are notices for deaths that occur in Northern Ireland. • There are for deaths of Irish people that occurred outside Ireland other than Northern Ireland. • Death notices are not published for foreign nationals who have died in Ireland, including both visitors and temporary workers but whose deaths will appear in the CSO data. • Some deaths will not have a death notice. • Some death notices will not have a date of death. RIP.ie data is used because of the poor quality of published mortality information. Source: NTR Traffic Data: https://www.nratrafficdata.ie/ The differences in the number of deaths in the two years will be due to many factors such as: • Reduced expected deaths due to lockdown-related factors and associated reduction of economic activities – road traffic and other travel-related, crime, workplace accidents, reduced deaths of foreign visitors to Ireland • Deaths caused by COVID-19 that would not have happened. • Deaths attributed to COVID-19 but which would have happened anyway within the measurement interval. • Excess deaths due to but not attributed to COVID-19. • Excess deaths due to factors such as failure to seek medical attention for serious illness, failure of emergency services to respond to call sufficiently quickly because of perceived or actual excess workload, possible increased rate of suicide and Excess deaths due to Irish people who would have died on holidays abroad but who now have died while remaining in Ireland. There is a definite increase in deaths between 2019 and 2019 from 23 March 2019 16 May 2019. Thereafter the pattern is much less clear. 2020 is a Leap Year and so there is an extra day when deaths will occur. This will account for roughly an additional 85 deaths. Deaths 2019 31,173 2020 32,093 Difference 920 There is some variation in the proportion of deaths that are recorded on different days of the week. There is no real pattern or significance to the variations. In general, slightly fewer deaths occur on Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesdays. Source: Death Notices: https://www.rip.ie/ There is a double-hit to aviation: flights down by over 74% and average flight occupancy down by over 67% since the start of restrictions, leading to an over 90% reduction in passengers. 2019 2020 Difference Mortage Approvals 25,067 23,155 -7.63% Approval Amount (Millions) 5,789 5,617 -2.97% Average Approval Amount €230,576 €241,821 4.88% X Size of shorter waiting queues drop Size of longer waiting queues increase This compares some data areas for Ireland for the years 2019 and 2020 illustrating the changes between the two years. It shows some of the impacts on both COVID-19 and of actions taken in response, such as the various lockdowns and other restrictions. The first lockdown clearly had major changes. The third lockdown which began at the end of the period analysed will have as great an impact as the first lockdown. Patterns of spending have changed with significant drops in areas like transport and large increases in areas such as utilities, indicating a hidden increased cost of people working from home.
