There were 62,053 births in 2017, 1,844 fewer births compared with 2016. This corresponds to a birth rate of 12.9 per 1,000 population, a rate decrease of 0.6 from 2016.
There were 30,484 deaths registered in 2017, an increase of 0.3% (or 94 deaths) from 2016. This equates to a death rate of 6.4 per 1,000 population, the same rate as 2016.
There were 174 infant deaths registered in 2017 giving an infant mortality rate of 2.8 per 1,000 live births.
The number of births less the number of deaths in 2017 resulted in a natural increase of population of 31,569 persons, 5.8% lower than the natural increase of 33,507 in 2016. See tables 1a and 1b.
Births
There were 62,053 births registered in 2017, 31,855 male births and 30,198 female births, a decrease of 1,844 on 2016. The 2017 total is 12.1% lower than in 2007 when 70,620 births were registered.
The 62,053 births represent an annual birth rate of 12.9 per thousand population. This rate is 0.6 per thousand population lower than in 2016. See tables 1a, 1b 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 2017 the TPFR for Ireland was 1.8 which is below replacement level. See table 2.
Age of Mothers
The average age of first time mothers in 2017 was 31.0 years, up 0.1 years from 2016. The average age of mothers at maternity for all births registered in 2017 was 32.8 years, 0.1 higher than 2016. The average age of first time mothers outside marriage/civil partnership was 28.7 while the average age of all mothers outside marriage/civil partnership was 30.2 years. In 2016, the average age of mothers having their first baby outside marriage/civil partnership was 28.6 years while it was 30.1 years for all mothers for births registered outside of marriage/civil partnership. See tables 1a, 1b, 7 and 8.

Age at death
The leading cause of death in 2017 varied widely by age group. Among those aged from 15 to 44 years, external causes of death including accidents, suicide and other ranked first (500 deaths). Among individuals aged 45-74, cancers were the leading cause while for those aged 75 and older, it was diseases of the heart and arteries. See table 12 and figure 5.
There were 25,026 deaths of persons aged 65 and over registered in 2017. This represents an annual death rate of 38.5 per 1,000 population aged 65 and over and represents a rate decrease of 0.9 when compared with 2016. See tables 1a, 1b and figure 5.
| Cancer | Heart | Lung | Accident, suicide, homicide and undetermined | Other | |

This report has been prepared by the Central Statistics Office for the Minister for Social Protection in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 of the Vital Statistics and Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Act, 1952 and Government Order SI 831 of 2007.
All figures in this report are classified by year of registration. The Yearly Summary publication is a summary of the 4 quarterly publications for the reference year.
The extension of the Limerick City boundary, which came into operation on 1st March 2008, has been taken into account in the compilation of the statistics from the Second Quarter of 2008. As a result, data for Limerick City and County are not directly comparable with any quarter prior to the Second Quarter 2008.
This publication continues with the 3 major changes in the methods by which mortality statistics are compiled. These changes were introduced in the Vital Statistics First Quarter 2007 publication.
1) Underlying Cause of Death is classified according to International Classification of Diseases, Version 10 (ICD10) instead of to International Classification of Diseases, Version 9 (ICD9). In addition, this and future publications will incorporate certain official updates to ICD-10. In particular, mental and behavioural disorders due to psychoactive substance use (F10-F19), with mention of intestinal infectious diseases (A00-A09), accidental, intentional self and undetermined intent poisoning by and exposure to noxious substances (X40-X49, X60-X69, Y10-Y19) or assault by chemical or noxious substance (X85-X90), are now coded to the latter. http://www.who.int/classifications/icd/OfficialWHOUpdatesCombined1996-2008VOLUME2.pdf
2) Deaths where there was not an inquest have been coded using the automated coding system developed by the U.S National Centre for Health Statistics (NCHS). Previously the Underlying Cause of Death was chosen manually for all deaths.
3) All deaths registered in the quarter/year have been included in the statistics, in some cases with a provisional cause of death. Previously the practice was not to include deaths in the annual summary statistics until the cause of death had been definitely established.
Because of these changes, caution should be taken in directly comparing these mortality statistics with those of previous quarters/years. Many countries have found that moving to ICD10 does affect certain specific categories of causes of death. In particular, a significant drop in the number of deaths attributed to pneumonia and bronchopneumonia has been observed in some countries after moving to ICD10. These deaths were instead assigned to other conditions included on the death certificate.
The effect of the third change above has been to increase the number of deaths in our statistics as compared with previous years. Statistics for deaths due to external causes are particularly affected by this change. The previous method meant that some deaths were included in a later quarter of the year from when they had been registered, because of the delay involved in establishing a definite cause of death.
Births and deaths (where no inquest has been held) which have not been registered within one year of their occurrence can be registered only on the authority of the Superintendent Registrars. The tables in the main body of this report exclude such births and deaths. The Appendix to the report contains an analysis of late death registrations in 2016 and of some deaths where an inquest has been held. The number of such deaths registered in 2016 was 758.
The regional classifications in this release are based on the NUTS (Nomenclature of Territorial Units) classification used by Eurostat. The NUTS3 regions correspond to the eight Regional Authorities established under the Local Government Act, 1991 (Regional Authorities) (Establishment) Order, 1993, which came into operation on 1 January 1994. The NUTS2 regions, which were proposed by Government and agreed by Eurostat in 1999, are groupings of the NUTS3 regions. The composition of the regions is set out below.

The fourth quarter and yearly summary publications from 2014 onwards are available in separate electronic publications on the cso website. The quarterly publications (from Quarter 1, 2014) and the yearly summary publications (from 2014 onwards) are no longer available in hard copy.
Rates for Births, Deaths and Marriages in Yearly Summary 2017 have been revised for intercensal years 2012 to 2015 based on revised estimated usual residence population data. Rates for 2016 have also been revised based on updated usual residence Census of population figures.
For the purpose of this release the population concept of usual residence has been used, i.e. all persons usually resident and present in the State on census night, plus absent persons who are usually resident in Ireland, but are temporarily away from home and outside the State on Census night. All persons are classified according to the region of their usual residence.
