Annual update for IrishGenealogy.ie - but still no 1864-1870 death records

The IrishGenealogy.ie platform (www.irishgenealogy.ie) has received its annual update of vital records, meaning that biorth records from 1925, marriages from 1950, and deaths from 1975 can now be viewed online free of charge. 

Please note that these are for records in what is now the Irish republic - for Northern Ireland, the equivalent records can be found at the pay-per-view GRONI website at https://geni.nidirect.gov.uk (note this site has an ongoing weekly update of records to reflect the same closure periods of 100 years for births, 75 years for marriages, and 50 years for deaths).

In what is now becoming a well-established IrishGenealogy.ie tradition, there is still absolutely no news as to why the death records from 1864-1870 continue to remain inaccessible on this platform. Will they have to kill us if they release them, are they really so top secret?! Note that death records for the six Northern Irish counties from this same period are available on the northern GRO site, there's absolutely nothing remarkable about them!
