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.

 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.

Background Notes

Introduction

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, Section 73 of the Civil Registration Act 2004 and Government Order SI 831 of 2007.

Methodology

All figures in this report are classified by year of registration.

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.

Issue of Authority for Registration:

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 2014 and of some deaths where an inquest has been held.  The number of such deaths registered in 2014 was 532..

NUTS2 and NUTS3 Regional Authority areas

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.
