Wonder if other Credit Unions will follow suit? And if they do, maybe they'll leave out the reason (so they don't feed the conspiracy theorists)?

But, looking at the RIP numbers, maybe there'll be no increase by the Credit Unions in Donegal? Because, unlike the others, it seems to be about the only county whose death figures haven't gone up in recent years.

Over a year ago I read a report from the. Insurance Actuaries in the USA, that death claims had increased by 40% for 2022. Seemed a very high figure to me.

There are many sources to check anomalies in death figures of an area or country, be it Coroners reports, Death Insurance Claims, Graveyard burials. Cremation figures. Funeral services. Electoral Register.

To check the effects of the Toxic Injection on Birth rates ,there are Maternity ward admissions, Registration of Births,and the effects on sales at Mothercare etc.

Birthrate has gone under the radar at present ,and it would be interesting to see the statistics.

Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year. 2024 might be very tough, but us Celts will somehow or other get through. Think of what our very poor ancestors went through and they got us here and now. It is now our turn to step up to the plate and prove that we were worth all the sadness and suffering. Keep your chin in and your guard up.

Not surprised, but excellent catch.

That’s a 16.6% premium increase. I wonder if it’s a direct correlation to claims increases?

If so, it reflects a 16.6% increase in deaths among credit union members who also subscribe to the scheme.
