OK, but a) Northern Ireland has been in a state of at best hevy terrorist activity and at worst borderline civil war in some areas for a good part of the last 40 years, and b) Relative populations:
England: 51.5m
Wales: 3m
Northern Ireland: 1.5m
So in NI we're talking about just over 1,000 deaths against E/W combined, about 200. Hence the separate treatment.
