Republic of Ireland's population pyramid in 2017

The Republic of Republic of ireland had a population of iv,761,865 at the 2016 census.^[ane]

Demographic history [edit]

A graph of the populations of the island of Ireland and Europe^{[ clarification needed ]} from 1750 to the present^{[ commendation needed ]} showing Ireland's "massive" population spike in the early 19th century and subsequent collapse due to the 1845–49 famine and subsequent emigration.

The island of Ireland, throughout most of its history, had a small-scale population, comparable to that of other regions of similar area in Europe. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, Ireland experienced a major population boom as a effect of the Agronomical and Industrial Revolutions. In the 50-yr period 1790–1840, the population of the island doubled from iv million to 8 million. At its peak, Republic of ireland's population density was similar to that of England and continental Europe.

This inverse dramatically with the Nifty Famine of the mid-19th century, which led to mass starvation and consistent mass emigration. In the area covering the present day Republic of Ireland, the population reached virtually 6.v one thousand thousand in the mid 1840s. Ten years later information technology was down to 5 million. The population continued a tedious decline well into the 20th century, with the Republic recording a depression of 2.eight million in the 1961 census.^[two]

During the 1960s, the population started to grow one time more, although slowly as emigration was still common. In the 1990s the country entered a flow of rapid economic growth equally a result of the Celtic Tiger Irish economical boom, and the Democracy started to receive immigration. Many one-time Irish emigrants returned abode, and the Republic of Ireland became an attractive destination for immigrants, from other member states Eu such every bit Central Europe, but also from exterior the Eu such every bit Africa, Asia and elsewhere. With the 2008 onset of the Irish gaelic economical and banking crisis, the state'south economy suffered, and the Republic of Republic of ireland has over again been experiencing internet emigration of its citizens, merely clearing remains high.

In November 2013, Eurostat reported that the commonwealth had the largest net emigration charge per unit of any fellow member state, at vii.6 emigrants per 1,000 population. Even so, information technology has the youngest population of whatsoever Eu member state ^[3] and its population size is predicted to grow for many decades, in contrast with the declining population predicted for most European countries. A written report published in 2008 predicted that the population would attain six.vii million by 2060.^[iv] The Commonwealth has likewise been experiencing a baby boom, with increasing birth rates and overall fertility rates.^[5] Despite this, the total fertility rate is withal below replacement depending on when the measurement is taken. The Irish fertility rate is still the highest of whatsoever European state.^[6] This increase is significantly fuelled past non-Irish immigration – in 2009, a quarter of all children born in the Republic were born to mothers who had immigrated from other countries.^[7]

Ethnic groups and immigration [edit]

This section needs to be updated. Delight help update this commodity to reverberate recent events or newly available information. (March 2019)

Gaelic civilization and language forms an important part of the Irish national identity.^[10]

The Irish Travellers are an indigenous minority ethnic group, formally recognised by the Irish gaelic Land since one March 2017.^[11]

In 2008, Ireland had the highest birth rate (18.ane per 1,000), everyman death charge per unit (6.1 per 1,000) and highest net-migration charge per unit (fourteen.1 per i,000) in the entire European Wedlock – and the largest population growth rate (4.4%) in the 27-fellow member bloc as a upshot.^[12]

There is only genetic evidence for pre-Celtic migration into Ireland. The Irish people may therefore be described as strongly influenced by Celtic language and traditions.^{[ citation needed ]}
