The average divorce rate in the EU is 40 marriages out of 100. The smallest divorce rate is in Ireland and Cyprus where it is quite difficult to get divorce. People get divorced the most after 3 or 5 years after the wedding. The average length of divorced marriages is 12 years.
I don't have the exact number for 2006 but 2005 was 2,362. Try searching the following link:

3,500 is ringing bells with me but to be a bit more accurate try the Department of Justice and law reform.
