According to the United Nations World Population Prospects 2024, the estimated population of Ireland is 5,408,424, growing at an annual rate of 1.01%. That works out to a net change of approximately 145 people per day or 6 per hour.
The population change in Ireland is driven by three components: approximately 52,616 births per year and 37,175 deaths per year, plus net migration. Together these components produce the overall growth rate of 1.01% per year.
