This timely repon is the latest published under the
Government's Families Research Programme, which I initiated in
1999 to assist in the funding of research projects which have the
ability to inform the future development of aspects of public policy
which relate to families and family services.
Recent decades have seen a number of changes in the patterns
of family formation in Ireland. Principal among these changes has
been the increase in non-marital childbearing and cohabitation, the
fannation of new family types through marriage breakdown, and
the decline in family size. However, while individual topics have
received some attention there has been linle systematic research on
general patterns of family formation in Ireland and their evolution. Dermot Ahern. T.D.
