The number of babies born in the second quarter of last year fell by 2.5 per cent compared to the same period in 2010.
Figures published by the Central Statistics Office today show there were 18,381 births registered in the second three months of 2011. But this was still 20 per cent higher than in 2002, when 15,247 babies were registered.
Based on the latest vital statistics, the birth rate is 16.4 babies per 1,000 of the population. The rate for the corresponding quarter of 2010 was 16.9 per cent, and in 2002 it was 15.6 per 1,000.
Of the 18,381 births in the second quarter, 6,013 were registered as outside marriage. Of these, 3,396 were to unmarried parents with the same address, or 18 per cent of all births.
