    And how many prosecutions for child sex abuse/statutory rape or whatever the law calls it?

    I think in most cases they're being seeded by other teenagers.

    Interesting: looking at the report if the population continues to increase at the same rate as the last 10 years then the population would nearly double by 2050.

    Ava?
    I don't know a single person with this name. Where did it come from?

    Ah you hear that name all the time. There's even a song about it - Ava Maria.

    My cousin called her baby Ava. She says it's the Irish for Eve. But I thought Aoife was?

    Immigrants are responsible for the majority of the increas IMO. Irish and British TFRs are well below replacement, especially Britain. Even with population momentum now coming into place, I don't see how this increase can be attributed to Irish people. Interesting that the cso will publish wheter or not the mother is married but not her nationality.
    I don't know about that, if there's one thing the Irish excel at it's out breeding everybody else. Irish families are still fairly large compared to any foreign families around here. Even the Catholic Brazilians don't have as many babies as the Irish.

    Babies born in 2008 were likely to have been conceived before the economic boom turned to bust......

    Yeah but that was in 2008, by all accounts there has been a massive baby boom this year and some hosipitals cant cope, we could see double the 2008 Figure in 2009. And if we get through to the world cup and do good at it all bets are off for the amount of sporgs being born, it will be bedlam.

    Were that true, birth rates wouldn't be so explosively high in Africa for example. I have another theory. A lot of bored, frustrated unemployed people means they look to procreation as an outlet for that boredom/frustration.

    Irish TFR is 1.85. However we have population momentum on our side for a few years yet. Long term replacement level is 2.1. We are beneath that but our population is still fine without immigration. We are not losing people yet due to the large number of children born in the 70's who are now entering their child rearing years.

    The Brazilian TFR is 2.21, much higher than Ireland. The biggest rates exist in Africa, where some countries are reaching 5 or 6+, hence one of the reasons Africas population will go from 200 million in the last century to 1,900 million by 2050.
