Merged-components note: The introductory text in the notice component describes population statistics, and the following table provides the detailed data for Connecticut counties (likely an OCR error rendering 'Connecticut' as 'Ireland'). These belong to the same logical component reporting on inhabitants, so merging them into a single domestic_news item.
