Ireland registered the highest population growth among European Union (EU) member states between 1997 and 2007, according to figures from a newly-published yearbook by the EU statistics office Eurostat.

The population of Ireland grew 18 percent in the 10-year period, compared with an EU average growth rate of 3.4 percent, according to Eurostat Yearbook 2008, which was unveiled Monday.

Apart from Ireland, countries with high population growth rates were Cyprus (16.9 percent), Luxembourg (14.2 percent) and Spain (12.5 percent).

Population fell in eight member states, with the largest declines in Bulgaria (7.9 percent), Latvia (6.7 percent) and Lithuania (5.7 percent).

The total population of the 27 member states of the EU reached 495 million in 2007, compared with 479 million in 1997.

Over population is serious. The planet simply cannot hold this many people. Period.

The sooner they have it the better. Then we can put this whole charade behind us.

The question is, do they want it. N.I. as it is now would only be a drain on the developing Irish economy.

My novel was about leaving behind all the worst criminals whilst the rest of the populating went off to Mars as Earth was dying.

No. Cars is the big one. Being overweight. That sort of shite smartass. If properly managed the world's current population and the world's current resources could work quite well.

I actually wasn't be smart Flec, I read you can feed 10 times more people if you feed them rather than an animal which you then kill to eat...

But fuck losing cars. That's why living in the first world is so great. If we all levelly out to live the same lives then it would just be communism on a global scale.

You are right on both counts, my bad. Btw you can all get fucked if you think I'm going to give up pork or a nice, large, tender scotch fillet.
