A QUARTER OF all children born in Ireland in 2012 were born to a non-Irish mother, a new study has found.

Meanwhile almost a quarter of Irish speakers (23.8 per cent) said they never spoke Irish.

In 2020, fertility rate for Ireland was 1.8 births per woman. Fertility rate of Ireland fell gradually from 3.8 births per woman in 1971 to 1.8 births per woman in 2020.

Time to recognise strength in diversity

One in eight of our population are migrants, but our political system is woefully homogenous and would be enriched by greater diversity, writes Salome Mbugua

Heard it all before mate, Paris, London etc are already gone, and Ireland lacks the population size to soak up the displacement, same as Sweden. It takes half a generation to ethnically cleanse somewhere with demographic assault, it's already happened and happening in Ireland. Once a certain inertia is reached, the end point is cemented. You add non-native fertility to the bottom of the pyramid with a higher fertility rate and tell natives to stop having kids cus carbon is bad and then retards point at the 45+ white irish demographic that will never have more children and will age and die off and cite "It's 80%, I don't know what you're on about mate, it's fine".
