The number of births registered in the State last year was the highest since the end of the 19th century, according to the latest data from the Central Statistics Office.
The figures, published today, show there were 75,065 births registered in 2008, the highest number since 1896 when there were 75,332 births registered in the 26 counties.

Congratulations to all the parents.
