There were 63 infant deaths registered giving an infant mortality rate of 3.8 per 1,000 live births.

Age at death

The leading cause of death in quarter 1 2016 varied widely by age group. Among young adults aged 15 to 34, external causes of death including accidents, suicide and other ranked first (56 deaths). Among individuals aged 35-74, cancers were the leading cause, while for those aged 75 and older, it was diseases of the heart and arteries.

There were 7,141 deaths of persons aged 65 and over registered in quarter 1 2016. This represents an annual death rate of 47.1 per 1,000 population aged 65 and over and represents a decrease of 1.8 when compared with the corresponding quarter of 2015. See tables 3, 4 and fig 5.

The average (mean) time-lag between the date of death and the registration of death was 43 days while the median (mid-point in data) was 18 days for quarter 1 2016.

	Cancer	Heart	Lung	Accident, suicide, homicide and undetermined	Other

Natural Increase

The natural increase in the population (births minus deaths) for quarter 1 2016 was 7,871. This represents a rate of 6.8 per 1,000 population, 0.6 per thousand less than quarter 1 2015. See tables 3, 4 and fig. 1.

Marriages/Civil Partnerships

The number of marriages registered during the quarter was 3,539 (provisional), of which 186 were same-sex marriages. This is equivalent to an annual marriage rate of 3.1 per 1,000 population, the same rate as the corresponding quarter of 2015. See tables 3 and 4.

Civil Partnership legislation was introduced in Ireland on the 1^st January, 2011. From 16th November 2015, when same-sex marriages legislation came into effect, same-sex couples no longer had the option to apply for a Civil Partnership. However, couples that had given the required 3 months' notice of a Civil Partnership prior to 16th November 2015 were still entitled to have a Civil Partnership ceremony after that date. The number of Civil Partnerships registered in the first quarter of 2016 was 7 which was 71 less than in quarter 1 2015. The annual rate per 1,000 population was 0.01 which was 0.06 less than the corresponding quarter of 2015.

Population

The estimated population (usual residence) in April 2015 was 4,635,400.
