Ireland’s population is growing at 7 times the European average, but the vast majority is because of immigration. 1.4 million migrants have been added to Ireland since 2015 while the fertility rate has dropped to 1.5. Of the 54,000 babies born last year, only 37,000 were born to Irish mothers. Over 150,000 immigrants moved to Ireland in the same timeframe. The Irish are disappearing and being replaced by migrants.
