Abstract

One third of all families in Ireland do not fit the traditional model of a married couple both in their first marriage. This and other new insights into Ireland’s families come from an analysis of Census 2006 micro‐data, access to which was granted through a formal agreement with the Central Statistics Office. The second in a series of studies based on these data†,‡was able to address research questions that were previously beyond quantitative investigation, producing new findings relating to couples, cohabitation, the family circumstances of children, and fertility patterns in Ireland.
