Portmarnock 2041?

The CSO study, 'Population and Labour Force Projections 2011-2041' is based on several contrasting scenarios linked to future trends in fertility, mortality, migration and the labour force.
Based on the assumption that net migration remains at zero, and fertility rates continue to decline, the study suggests that the Irish population will grow from its present 4.25 million to 4.9 million by 2041.
But if migration rates continue at a high level over the next decade and fertility levels remain the same, the population could climb by 650,000 over the next 13 years and reach seven million by 2041.
