Irish Life Tables are calculated based on population data from the census and 3 years mortality data centred on the census year. Therefore Irish Life Tables 17 will be based on population data from the 2016 census, and mortality data from the years 2015, 2016, and 2017. The Central Statistics Office intends to publish the Life Tables in early 2019, 3 years after the 2016 census.
