Only a small and bitterly disputed slice of Ireland is part of the UK.
- jacquesm 9y agoGood point, I should have written 'Northern Ireland', apologies.
- leereeves 9y agoBeyond mere pedantry, I think it's relevant to your point. How powerful is the church (any church) in Northern Ireland? Northern Ireland remains in the UK because of the Protestants. Is the Anglican (or any other protestant church) powerful there? And if the Catholic Church (and the Catholics) were actually powerful in Northern Ireland, would it remain part of the UK?
