Growth Rate of Irish Population

The CSO released the latest population growth statistics this week. If the population continues to grow at the same linear rate as the last 10 years then we would see the population doubling by 2050. Unlikely I know but it would be interesting to track to see how long this trend continues.




The Red line in Graph 1 is the actual population growth increase from 1999 to 2008 and the Blue line is the extrapolated growth line giving the actual total population in Graph 2.
