go to full release

There were 67,462 births in 2014, 1,468 fewer births compared with 2013. This corresponds to a birth rate of 14.6 per 1,000 population, a decrease of 0.4 from 2013.

There were 29,095 deaths registered in 2014, a decrease of 3.1% (or 923 deaths) from 2013. This equates to a death rate of 6.3 per 1,000 population, a fall in rate of 0.2 in comparison with 2013.

There were 249 infant deaths registered giving an infant mortality rate of 3.7 per 1,000 live births.

The number of births less the number of deaths in 2014 resulted in a natural increase of population of 38,367 persons, slightly lower than the natural increase of 38,912 in 2013. See table 1.

Births

There were 67,462 births registered in 2014, 34,785 male births and 32,677 female births in 2014, a decrease of 1,468 on 2013. The 2014 total is 10.5% higher than in 2005 when 61,042 babies were registered.

The 67,462 births represent an annual birth rate of 14.6 per thousand population. This rate is 0.4 per thousand population lower than in 2013. See tables 1 and 3.

Fertility

The total period fertility rate, TPFR is derived from the age specific fertility rates in the current year. It represents the projected number of children a woman would have if she experienced current age specific fertility rates while progressing from age 15-49 years. A value of 2.1 is generally considered to be the level at which the population would replace itself in the long run, ignoring migration.

In 2014 the TPFR for Ireland was 1.95 which is below replacement level. See table 2.

Age of Mothers

The average age of first time mothers in 2014 was 30.5 years, up 0.3 years from 2013. The average age of mothers at maternity for all births registered in 2014 was 32.3 years, 0.2 higher than 2013. The average age of first time mothers outside marriage/civil partnership was 28.0 while the average age of all mothers outside marriage/civil partnership was 29.4 years. In 2013, the average age of mothers having their first baby outside marriage/civil partnership was 27.6 years while it was 29.2 years for all mothers for births registered outside of marriage/civil partnership. See tables 1, 7 and 8.

Births and marriage/civil partnerships

In 2014 there were 42,972 (63.7%) births registered as within marriage and of these 24 were within civil partnerships.

There were 24,490 births registered as outside marriage/civil partnership accounting for 36.3% of all births, an increase of 0.9 percentage points from 2013. The highest percentage of births outside marriage/civil partnership was in Limerick City at 56.7% and the lowest was in Dun Laoghaire Rathdown with 24.6%. See tables 1 and 6.

A total of 1,253 teenagers had babies in 2014, of these 23 were aged under 16. Almost 55% of births outside marriage/civil partnership were to mothers under 30. See Table 5.

Location of births

The highest number of births registered was in Dublin City with 7,828 (11.6% of total live births in the country) followed by Cork County with 6,009 (8.9%) registered births. Leitrim had the lowest number with 403 (0.6%) registered births in 2014. The same pattern was reflected in 2013 when Dublin City accounted for 7,769 or 11.3% of births followed by Cork County with 6,335 (9.2%). Leitrim had the lowest number, 458 births (or 0.7%), registered in 2013. See tables 3, 6 and 7.

Nationality of mothers

Of the 67,462 births in 2014, there were 52,425 babies (77.7%) born to mothers of Irish nationality compared to 52,825 (76.6%) in 2013. There were 11.8% of births to mothers of EU 15 to EU 28 nationality, 2.2% of mothers were of UK nationality, and 1.7% were of EU 15 nationality (excl Ireland and the UK). Mothers of nationalities other than Ireland, UK and the EU accounted for 6.4% of total births registered. There were 0.2% of mothers where the nationality was not stated. See table 9.

Birth Order

A total of 25,635 births (38.1%) were to first time mothers in 2014. Second time mothers had 23,442 births (34.9%). This accounted for a total of 73.0% of births. See table 4 and fig 2.

Cause of death

Diseases of the Heart and Arteries:

Diseases of the circulatory system accounted for 8,899 deaths, or an annual rate of 1.9 per 1,000 population. Of these, 4,329 were due to ischaemic heart disease and 1,837 to cerebrovascular disease. See tables 11 and 12, and fig. 4.

Malignant Cancers:

There were 8,880 deaths from malignant neoplasms. This is also equivalent to an annual rate of 1.9 per 1,000 population. See tables 11 and 12, and fig. 4.

Lung Diseases:

Deaths from pneumonia numbered 965; chronic lower respiratory disease accounted for 1,515 deaths and 908 deaths resulted from other respiratory diseases. See table 12.

Accidents, suicides and other:

There were 1,560 deaths due to accidents, suicides and other external causes. Accidents accounted for 62.6% (977) of these deaths while suicides accounted for 29.4% (459). Of these 1,560 deaths, almost 7 out of 10 (69.7%) were male. See tables 12, 13, 14 and 16.

Age at death

The leading cause of death in 2014 varied widely by age group. Among young adults aged 15 to 44, external causes of death including accidents, suicide and other ranked first (631 deaths). Among individuals aged 45-84, cancers were the leading cause, while for those aged 85 and older, it was diseases of the heart and arteries. See table 12 and fig 5.

There were 23,269 deaths of persons aged 65 and over registered in 2014. This represents an annual death rate of 39.7 per 1,000 population aged 65 and over and represents a rate decrease of 2.5 when compared with 2013. See table 1 and fig. 5.

The estimated population (usual residence) in April 2014 was 4,609,600. See table A.

1864-2014: 150 years of recording Births, Deaths and Marriages

Civil registration was introduced in Ireland on the 1st January, 1864. There were 136,414 births (102,410 in the 26 counties) and 93,144 deaths (68,497 in the 26 counties) registered in 1864 giving a birth and death rate of 24.0 (24.0 for the 26 counties) and 16.4 ( 16.1 for the 26 counties) respectively per 1,000 population. Both the birth and death rates have fallen significantly from 1864 to 14.6 and 6.3 respectively per 1,000 population in 2014. There were 27,406 marriages registered in 1864 giving an annual marriage rate of 4.8 per 1,000 population, the same marriage rate per 1,000 population 150 years later in 2014.
