Based on data from the United Nations World Population Prospects (2024), an estimated 52,616 people are born in Ireland each year. That works out to roughly 144 births per day, 6 per hour, or approximately one person every 599.36 seconds. The counter above tracks the estimated number of births that have occurred so far today.
The crude birth rate in Ireland is approximately 9.9 births per 1,000 people , which is below the global average of 16.1 per 1,000. The total fertility rate stands at 1.60 children per woman. Since this is below the replacement level of 2.1, the population of Ireland would decline over the long term without net immigration.
In addition to births, approximately 37,175 deaths occur in Ireland each year, resulting in a natural increase of approximately 15,441 people per year.
