Abstract:
The present paper stems from an examination of data from those Censuses of Population of the Republic of Ireland which have incorporated a Religious enquiry. Summary data for the whole country in these censuses indicate that, since 1926, a higher percentage of farmers in the larger farm-size were returned as Protestants (as opposed to Catholics) than is the case for the smaller farm-size categories. Further, throughout the period, the percentage of Protestants in each farm-size increases as the mid-point of the category increases. This was true both of the whole country and of County Kildare specifically.
