What is the infant mortality rate in Ireland?

According to the Central Statistics Office (CSO) of Ireland, the infant mortality rate in Ireland was 2.5 per 1,000 live births in 2021. This means that for every 1,000 babies born in Ireland, 2.5 died before reaching their first birthday. This rate has been steadily declining over the past few decades, and is significantly lower than the infant mortality rate in many other countries.
