The Republic.

The North used to be overwhelmingly majority Protestant, with the Presbyterians being the biggest single denomination. The proportion of Protestant to Catholic is coming closer to parity now (2011 census showed respective 41.6 percent to 40.8 percent), with “no religion” and “religion not stated” being reported in higher numbers. Presbyterians and most other Protestants identify as British.

I guess all of Republic of Ireland identifies as British, being as it is part of UK.

FYI I happened to hear, a few years ago, that the number of Catholic school children has surpassed number of Protestants.

Have continued to wonder what the P’s will get around to changing to keep things in their favor :(

The Priests, at www.thepriests.org !SonySuperstars, 3 Catholic Priests, who have sung around the world and for 3 Popes, from Northern Ireland, so admittedly intelligent.

Have a story of being refused to be sent to school after grade school, because unqualified. Like how they handled the Catholics. If family wanted anymore education, they had to pay for it themselves :(
