It’s not often I can be proud of Monaghan, but today is one such time

Kinda shocking to see some lower density place having multiple dots.
Like Galway has roughly twice the population of Kerry or Clare and has no dots to their two. Not to mention Galway county has a relatively large population centre compared to those two counties.
It’s bad that anyone is dying, but women are only a *quarter* of all the muders that have happened in that timeframe? If anything, that’s pretty good? Like, *massively* below average?
Actually, just realised those statistics were just for the Republic. There are about 25 dots there in the North, so does this mean that out of the 200 murders in the Republic, only ~**25** were women?
Again, it’s bad that anyone is being murdered, but these are **fantastic** numbers for women!
Edit: Just to clarify, what Women’s Aid really should do is highlight the *types* of murders that are happening. “Murder” isn’t a gendered issue, but “Domestic Violence”, say, is. Highlighting the *specific* problems would communicate their message better instead of folding it into the far-too-vague category of “Murders”
Showing that:
1. Women are about four times more likely to have someone convicted of sexually assaulting them as men.
2. Men are about twice as likely to have someone convicted of murdering them as women.

What’s going on up in the north.
Jesus
Are these of a specific age range or any age?

Okay, look, I don’t want to be “That Guy”, but in 2021, 2022, and 2023 [there were ~200 murders](https://www.statista.com/statistics/945262/homicides-in-ireland/#:~:text=There%20were%2065%20homicide%20offences,seen%20in%20the%20late%202010s) total.

That’s a shameful statistic
1 in all of Connacht… I know this isn’t the kind of stat to gloat over, but well… that’s good going
