MALE VOICE: What happened in Irish nursing homes? The following video summarizes Health Freedom Ireland's investigation into nursing home deaths in the Republic of Ireland since the onset of the covid 19 pandemic.
[0:19 screen shows chart: SAMPLE OF 60 NURSING HOMES, deaths per month January 2020-January 2021]
Beginning in early 2021 a volunteer in Health Freedom Ireland began analyzing nursing home deaths in the Republic with a particular focus on a sample of 60 nursing homes. This data was compiled from the Irish website rip.ie.* From this data graphs were produced of deaths per month throughout the year.
Despite the promise of two weeks to flatten the curve, on the 27th of March when the Republic of Ireland went into its first lockdown, April 2020 saw large numbers of deaths occur in nursing homes regardless of the restrictions. Please recall that the HSE** callously moved large numbers of sick patients from hospitals into nursing homes, without even testing them beforehand, to free up hospital capacity.
Despite a second lockdown being announced on the 19th of October because of NPHET's*** claim that more cases would lead to more deaths, October, November 2020 saw fewer deaths on average than the rest of the year in the nursing home study.
[1:23 screen shows chart: SAMPLE OF 60 NURSING HOMES, nursing home deaths January 2020-January 21 Pre-Vax and January 2021 Post-Vax]
Despite going into a third lockdown in January 2021, and the heralding of the vaccine rollout for the most vulnerable, there was a shocking 426% increase in deaths in the nursing home sample reviewed.
Shown in the slide on the following is the letter* that Health Freedom Ireland sent to the Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin, the Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly, the head of the HSE Paul Reid, the CEO of HIQA** and the chief executive officer of the HPRA.***
On Tuesday the 9th of March 2021 were our grave concerns over these findings were brought to their attention. The pleas from Health Freedom Ireland to halt this roll out pending a thorough investigation were all ignored.
Health Freedom Ireland issued press releases to 13 mainstream media outlets, including the RTÉ News Desk, the Irish Times, the Irish Independent, and the Irish Examiner, which were never pursued.
As a result of no response being received, the same letter was then sent to members of both houses of the Irish parliament, the Dàil and the Seanod, on the 11th of March.
[2:42 screen shows chart: Beech Park Nursing Home, Kildare - 16 DEATHS from 1st Dec, 2020 to 2nd Mar, 2021]
For a selection of nursing homes we obtained death records from the General Registrar's office. Here we see that for Beech Park Nursing Home in County Kildare, for the six records we obtained, 5 had severe covid as a cause of death.
How could this have happened given that nursing homes were all locked down at this time, staff were rigorously tested, and no external visitors were permitted?
[3:11 screen shows table: ALL Nursing Home Deaths Jan 2020 - Nov 2021]
Since January 2021 the Irish government proceeded to roll out the vaccine to the remainder of the Irish adult population and introduced vaccine passports this summer as a means of increasing uptake, despite being aware of these adverse signals earlier this year.
In this slide we have graphed all of the nursing home deaths in the Irish Republic since the onset of the pandemic. We can actually see already that nursing home deaths are now higher in the past few months than they were last year, despite the roll out of a national vaccine campaign and booster shots.
[3:51 screen shows table: Deaths by month January 2020 - November 2021, each compared to average deaths 2020-20201]
Following from slide six we have compiled the nursing home deaths in Ireland in the past two years. Months in 2021 where the death rate is higher than in 2020 are highlighted in red.
In summary, the Irish people have endured the longest lockdowns in Europe, have been subject to stringent health protocols, vaccine passports, and the country has had a high vaccine uptake, all of which were intended to protect the most vulnerable in our society. These measures have all failed to achieve what was promised. Nursing home residents continue to be subject to severe restrictions, leaving them feeling isolated, frustrated, and fearful. With the recent introduction of vaccine passports as a requirement of entry for visitors, many elderly residents are being denied access to their loved ones.
Ireland remains a two-tier society with the unvaccinated being marginalized and discriminated against for exercising their right to bodily autonomy.
Please ask yourself, can you continue to believe this government narrative?
If you like this video please share it. Health Freedom Ireland is a non-profit voluntary organization. We have compiled this information on our own time and expense. We feel compelled to highlight the truth to the public because the authorities we ought to be able to trust have failed entirely.

Re: Recent Excessive Deaths in Irish Nursing Homes
Dáil Deputy
Leinster House,
Kildare St,
Dublin 2,
D02 XR20,
Ireland.
Dear Deputy,
We are contacting you as Teachta Dála and a sitting member of Dáil Éireann.
We wish to make you aware of a very serious rise in the number of nursing home deaths (excess deaths) for the three-week period beginning at the end January 2021. The attached chart (page 3) shows 160 deaths from a selection of just 10 of the 572 HIQA registered nursing homes that we studied during the period mentioned. In comparison there were only a small number of deaths in those same nursing homes during December 2020 and January 2021. Considering the overall reduction in COVID-19 related deaths, hospitalisations and positive PCR tests for the same period, the dramatic rise in deaths gives us great cause for concern. Please refer to the attached graph on page 4 showing data for these key trends.
While this sudden unexplained rise in nursing home deaths may be due to a number of factors, we found that the majority of these excess deaths occurred directly after the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccination programme for nursing homes and may indicate a serious adverse drug reaction to the vaccine. If an adverse reaction to the vaccinations has contributed to these deaths, it has the potential to adversely affect the health of all Irish citizens due to the planned ongoing rollout to every citizen.
Please see attached graphs and tables with data on deaths for two of the nursing homes which we have studied in more detail as follows: -
CareChoice, Ballynoe, Cork, page 5 & 6
Beech Park, Kildare, page 7 & 8
We have studied these nursing home deaths in great detail utilising RIP.ie death notices. We have also obtained a number of death records for these deaths from the GRO to confirm the details, which are referenced in the tables (page 5 & 7) and these confirm the RIP.ie data.
On Tuesday 9th March 2021 we notified this situation to:-
An Taoiseach, Micheál Martin
Health Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly
Director General of the HSE, Mr. Paul Reid
Chief Executive Officer of HIQA, Mr. Phelim Quinn
Chief Executive of the HPRA, Dr. Lorraine Nolan,
Having had no appropriate response from any of the above parties, we request your assistance in recommending an immediate suspension of the National COVID-19 Vaccination Programme rollout as a precautionary measure. The high numbers of recent deaths in nursing homes must be fully investigated and explained to ensure that the vaccinations are not contributing to the recent excessive number of deaths.
Many of our members are also your constituents who elected you to Dáil Éireann in good faith. We now request you to act on our behalf by urgently raising this matter either directly with the Taoiseach and Minister for Health or during Dáil questions.
We eagerly await your response to this urgent situation.
