I was somewhat surprised to read that the majority of births in Belfast these days are outside marriage. According to the DFP, "last year, 39% of all births in Northern Ireland occurred outside marriage. However this varies from area to area. In Belfast (57%) and Derry (50%) Local Government Districts at least half of births were outside marriage. Whereas, in Magherafelt (24%) and Omagh (24%) Local Government Districts less than one-quarter of births were outside marriage."
