 | | The island also has a small Jewish community (See History of the Jews in Ireland), although this has declined somewhat in recent years. | | | The major religions, the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of Ireland and the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, are organised on an all-island basis. | | | Ireland's largest religious denomination is Roman Catholicism (about 70% for the entire island, and over 90% for the Republic), and most of the rest of the population adhere to one of the various Protestant denominations. |

| | Ireland (12/05) |
| | The conflict in Northern Ireland stems from a history of British rule, historical animosity between Catholics and Protestants, and the various armed and political attempts to unite Northern Ireland with the rest of the island. | | | For the first time in its modern history, immigration to Ireland, especially of non-Europeans, is a growing phenomenon with political, economic, and social consequences. | | | Religions: Roman Catholic 88.4%; Church of Ireland 3.0%; other 8.7%. |

| | Bede's Ecclesiastical History - Part 1 |
| | It is noticeable here in the first instance that Henry of Huntingdons History, Florence of Worcesters Annals, and Bedes Ecclesiastical History, all agree in representing Ireland or Hibernia as the country from which Columba came to Britain. | | | and Wilbrord with the only Hibernia known to most people at the time of the Reformation, that is Ireland, in order to bolster up claims which had little else but false history to support them. | | | In "Ireland not the Hibernia of the Ancients," an attempt has been made to show that Iceland was also called Hibernia; and, from what has been said above regarding the passage in the Ecclesiastical History, there is good grounds for believing that it never was penned by Bede. |

| | It was a stormy relationship much of the time, and one of the fascinating things about Jewish history is to watch God changing and developing alongside his people. | | | Its numbers increased after 1881 when a large number of Jews from Russia, who were escaping religious persecution, settled in the north of Ireland. | | | The history of Judaism is inseparable from the history of Jews themselves. |

| | Award-winning travel writer Millman tromps through West Ireland's rugged countryside to record the oral history of its people before their hard-earned traditions are permanently stifled by industrialization and development. | | | In this vivid and perceptive exploration of the enduring conflict in Ireland and the people who sustain it, Marcus Tanner contends that the roots of "the troubles" are inescapably religious. | | | A delightful and illuminating look into a crucial but little known "hinge" of history in which the author shows that the Irish were not only conservators of civilization, but became shapers of the medieval mind, putting their unique stamp on Western... |

| | Review: 'Shalom Ireland'-- A Lively Look at Ireland's Jews -- From The Wild Geese Today |
| | The three families, along with the professor and narrator, also recount the history of Ireland's Jewish community one that includes their contributions to Ireland, as well as to Israel. | | | Referring to the number of Irish Jews, a figure that dwindled from 5,500 in the 1940s to 1,200 when "Shalom Ireland" was filmed, Joe Morrison pronounces his own verdict: that in 50 years, no Jewish community will remain in Ireland. | | | What is certain is this: "Shalom Ireland" makes a strong and memorable case that, as Joe Briscoe says, "the Irish people have benefited from the Jews living among them." Filmgoers, as well as anyone interested in Irish or Jewish history, would benefit from seeing this film. |
