English answer:
Category of the birth informant (the house resident or the hospital chief resident officer)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

a) one of the parents
b) the occupier of the house in which child was born

Excuse me for being too sure.
Actually, it could be either (b) or (c); pls check w/ place of birth (i.e., in hospital or at home).

: Excellent research, Erich. It looks like the "occupier" could be either the chief resident officer of the hospital or any person present in the dwelling where the birth occurred. http://www.groireland.ie/registering_a_birth.htm

: "Most probably"? That's quite a stretch from your dictionary definition of "resident" to resident doctor. Why answer questions if you don't want to put any effort into it?
