go to full release

There were 16,747 births in quarter 3 2021, 2,270 births or 15.7% more than the same period in 2020. This corresponds to a birth rate of 13.4 per 1,000 population, an increase of 1.8 points per thousand population from quarter 3 2020.

There were 8,165 deaths in quarter 3 2021, an increase of 14.8% (or 1,054 deaths) from quarter 3 2020. This equates to a death rate of 6.5 per 1,000 population, an increase of 0.8 points from quarter 3 2020.

There were 52 infant deaths registered in quarter 3 2021 giving an infant mortality rate of 3.1 per 1,000 live births.

The number of births less the number of deaths in quarter 3 2021 resulted in a natural increase of population of 8,582 persons.

Births

There were 8,594 male births and 8,153 female births in quarter 3 2021. The 16,747 births represent an annual birth rate of 13.4 per thousand population. An increase of 1.8 in the rate that was recorded in quarter 3 2020. See tables 4 and 5.

Age of mothers

The average age of first time mothers was 31.8, up 0.5 years from that recorded for the same period in the previous year. The average age of all mothers at maternity for births registered in quarter 3 2021 was 33.2 years, which is up 0.2 years from that recorded in quarter 3 2020. The average age of first time mothers outside marriage/civil partnership was 30.1, while the average age of all mothers outside marriage/civil partnership was 31.1 years. In the same quarter in 2020, the average age of mothers having their first baby outside marriage/civil partnership was 29.2 years while it was 30.7 years for all mothers for births registered outside of marriage/civil partnership. See tables 9 and 10.

Births and marriage/civil partnerships

In quarter 3 2021 there were 9,606 (57.4%) births registered as within marriage/civil partnership.

There were 7,141 births registered as outside marriage/civil partnership accounting for 42.6% of all births in quarter 3 2021. The highest percentage of births outside marriage/civil partnership was in Waterford City at 53.9% and the lowest was in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown with 29.7%. In the same quarter in 2020, there were 5,689 births registered as outside marriage/civil partnership accounting for 39.3% of all births. See table 8.

Location of births

The highest number of births registered was in Dublin City with 1,787 (10.7% of total live births in the country) followed by Cork County with 1,579 (9.4%) registered births. Leitrim had the lowest number with 110 (0.7%) registered births in quarter 3 2021. The highest number of births registered in quarter 3 2020 was Dublin City which accounted for 1,631 or 11.3% of births followed by Cork County with 1,375 (9.5%). Leitrim had the lowest number, 91 births (0.6%), registered in quarter 3 2020. See table 8.

Area of residence of mother

From January 2018 onwards where births take place within the State and the mother is residing outside the State, the area of residence of the mother is recorded as outside the State. Prior to quarter 1, 2018, cases where the mother was residing outside the State, the mother's area of residence was assigned to the location where the birth took place within the State.

There were 12 babies born to mothers who were resident outside the Republic of Ireland in quarter 3 2021. This accounts for 0.07% of total live births registered in the quarter. See tables 5, 8, 9 and 10.

Nationality of mothers

Of the 16,747 births in quarter 3 2021, there were 12,923 babies (77.2%) born to mothers of Irish nationality compared to 11,135 (76.9%) in quarter 3 2020. See table 11.

Birth order

A total of 6,723 births (40.1%) were to first time mothers in quarter 3 2021 while 5,690 (34.0%) were to second time mothers. These accounted for a total of 74.1% of births of stated parity in quarter 3 2021. See table 6 and figure 2.

Deaths

There were 8,165 deaths registered in quarter 3 2021, of these 4,310 were male and 3,855 were female. The quarter 3 2021 total is 14.8% more than the corresponding quarter of 2020 when 7,111 deaths were registered. See table 12.

Infant and neonatal mortality

There were 52 infant deaths registered in quarter 3 2021 giving an infant mortality rate of 3.1 deaths per 1,000 live births, an increase of 0.6 points on that recorded in quarter 3 of 2020. Neonatal deaths are deaths of infants at ages under 4 weeks. There were 41 neonatal deaths registered in quarter 3 2021, giving a neonatal mortality rate of 2.4 deaths per 1,000 live births, which was an increase of 0.7 from quarter 3 2020 rate. See tables 3, 4 and figure 3.

Cause of death

Diseases of the circulatory system:

Diseases of the circulatory system accounted for 2,320 deaths, or an annual rate of 1.9 per 1,000 population. Of these, 1,134 were due to ischaemic heart disease and 344 to cerebrovascular disease. See tables 2a, 2b, 13, 14 and figure 4.

Malignant neoplasms (Cancer):

There were 2,494 deaths from malignant neoplasms. This is equivalent to an annual rate of 2.0 per 1,000 population. See tables 2a, 2b, 13, 14, 15 and 16.

Diseases of the respiratory system:

Deaths from chronic lower respiratory disease numbered 397, pneumonia accounted for 146 deaths, and 245 deaths resulted from all other respiratory diseases. See tables 2a, 2b, 13, 14, 15 and 16.

Accidents, suicides and other:

There were 462 deaths due to accidents, suicides and other external causes. Accidents accounted for 65.8% (304) of these deaths while suicides accounted for 33.5% (155). This figure of 155 reflects an increase of 64.9% from the same quarter of 2020. Of these suicide deaths, 70.3% (109) were male. See tables 2a, 2b, 13, 14, 15 and 16.

All unnatural deaths, which includes deaths from intentional self-harm, must be referred to the Coroner's Office. However, the Coroner's Court did not hold public hearings at various stages over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, as a consequence of the restrictions imposed. This would impact on the number of deaths registered and subsequently assigned an Underlying Cause of Death of intentional self-harm. Users should bear this in mind when comparing percentage increases/decreases from 2020-2021 quarterly results.

Deaths assigned an Underlying Cause of Death of External causes of injury and poisoning (including deaths from road traffic accidents and deaths from intentional self-harm), are likely to be underrepresented as such deaths are reported to the Coroner’s Office for further investigation. This can then result in such deaths being registered late (more than three months after the date of occurrence) and therefore have not yet been reported to the CSO. In addition, public hearings in the Coroner's Court have also been limited as a consequence of the restrictions imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and this may also have resulted in deaths being registered late.

Dementia and Alzheimer's:

In Quarter 3 2021 there were 382 deaths due to dementia of which 253 (or 66.2%) were female. There were 118 deaths due to Alzheimer's of which 80 (or 67.8%) were female. See tables 18 and 19.

COVID-19

There were 179 deaths due to COVID-19 recorded in quarter 3 2021, 87 of which were male and 92 which were female. Of these, 118 (65.9%) were aged 75 and over.

There were 178 of these COVID-19 deaths where the virus was identified while there was 1 death where the virus was not identified. See tables 20, 21 and WHO ICD-10 classification of COVID-19 and WHO emergency use ICD codes for COVID-19 disease outbreak

It is important to note that there will be a number of deaths where COVID-19 will not be assigned as the Underlying Cause of Death (UCOD) and therefore, the COVID-19 deaths in this analysis, will vary from those put into the public domain by the Department of Health. This is because the figures published in the Vital Statistics quarterly releases are based on the narrative of cause of death that is reported, in electronic format, on the death certificate once the death is registered with the General Registration Office (GRO) and subsequently forwarded to the CSO for processing. All deaths that are registered are assigned an Underlying Cause of Death in line with the World Health Organization (WHO) International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10). This UCOD is assigned using the WHO selection rules and is dependent on the hierarchy of diseases or conditions and their placement on the medical death certificate. There are also instances where COVID-19 is mentioned in the narrative of the death certificate but where the UCOD is not COVID-19.

The mean average age of death was 78.0 years while the median age was 81.1 years for all deaths due to COVID-19 in quarter 3 2021.

Age at death

The leading cause of death in quarter 3 2021 varied widely by age-group. For those aged from 15 to 34 years, external causes of death including accidents, suicide and other ranked first (94 deaths). Among individuals aged 35-74, malignant neoplasms (cancer) was the leading cause (1,241), while for those aged 75 and older, it was diseases of the circulatory system (1,686 deaths). See table 14.

There were 6,587 deaths of persons aged 65 and over registered in quarter 3 2021. This represents an annual death rate of 35.5 per 1,000 population aged 65 and over and represents an increase of 3.2 when compared with the corresponding quarter of 2020. See tables 3, 4 and figure 5.

The average (mean) time-lag between the date of death and the registration of death was 79 days while the median (mid-point in data) was 44 days for quarter 3 2021.

Natural Increase

The natural increase in the population (births minus deaths) for quarter 3 2021 was 8,582. This represents a rate of 6.8 per 1,000 population, 0.9 more than quarter 3 2020. See tables 3, 4 and figure 1.

Marriages

The number of marriages registered during the quarter was 7,022 of which 193 were same-sex marriages. This is equivalent to an annual marriage rate of 5.6 per 1,000 population, an increase of 3.1 from quarter 3 2020. See tables 3 and 4.

Same-sex marriage legislation came into effect on the 16th November 2015.

Population

The estimated population (usual residence) in April 2021 was 5,011,460.
