Fertility data are compiled by the Central Statistics Office and published in the annual and quarterly reports on vital statistics. "Area of residence of mother" is coded to the level of county and county borough. With the exception of certain urban districts, which in the case of County Wicklow include Bray, Arklow and Wicklow towns only, the CSO does not provide a further detailed breakdown on the "area of residence of mother".

The data sought by the Deputy on County Wicklow for 2002 to 2004 are presented in the following table. The Deputy's attention is drawn to the fact that the data for 2003 and 2004 below are provisional and relate to the number of births registered in the years concerned.
