Irish Population Leaps Ahead Of UK
While Northern Ireland's population has now exceeded 1.75 million and is growing faster than any other UK region - it is dwarfed by the rate of increase in the Irish Republic.
Official statistics just revealed today show that in mid 2007, the number of people living in the North had increased by 1.0% over the previous year.
That's more than within the rest of the UK where the population only increased by 0.6%.
In contrast, in the Republic of Ireland, population growth was far higher and increased by 2.5% in the year to April 2007 - far exceeding any other part of the British Isles - and more than double the growth of NI.
These are some of the findings in the '2007 Annual Report of the Registrar General' published by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA).
The report provides information on births, deaths, marriages, civil partnerships, adoptions and divorces registered in 2007.
