Percentage of Protestants in County Cavan 2006




































Got this from a crowd called the "Cavan protestant network" . I am curious to find out more about the area in the dark red that is greater than 40% so if you know anything about it please comment. The website had a few batches of stats and some commentary, one interesting thing was that they said that protestants near the border had been forced to move from their homes. This is something i have heard had happened in the north but not in the republic. I have asked Northerners about it and i have got mixed answers. All the people i asked where protestants so i have to assume that im not getting a biased answer. I feel i really need to ask a lot more people to get a better picture so i aint saying anything here this time.

N.Ireland Protestant Catholic Other demographics and Nationality results from Census 2011




These are some of the best maps that ive found on the subject at hand. I'll put any other good ones i find up here as well.  The biggest news for me has been the emergence of a "northern Irish" identity. Whatever else this might mean i think its actually good news for unionists as a northern Irish identity is essentially an identity that is ok with the current constitutional situation. On that I think that the current protests by loyalists actually feed into this identity.. underneath the anger against the loyalists is a recognition that republicans have stirred the shit here on this issue..those who have been pushed away from loyalists by their recent actions have also been pushed away from republicans who (all though staying quiet currently) have been tarnished by this aswell because their actions started this off..(not to mention the naming a playground after an IRA guy)  The alliance are going to do well out of all of this which is ironically a good thing for unionists/loyalists cause a vote for alliance is ultimately a vote for the union (or independence I guess). Unionists and loyalist will just have to start to learn how to live where they are a minority.

Orange Order lodges in Northern Ireland


Taken from Sneps.com

Don't have any figures for the counties but it would seem from looking at this that Armagh has the highest concentration. There are 44 lodges in the Republic (see earlier post for map) which means there are about 1350 lodges represented on this map.  The OO is divided into 12 counties- the six traditional northern ones (derry is londonderry of course) plus the city of Londonderry and city of belfast plus 4 border counties - Cavan, Donegal, Leitrim, Monaghan.  These 12 counties are split in districts of which there are 126. A map of them i would like to get.  Each county has a county lodge and each district has a district lodge and then there's the ordinary lodges. If any of that is wrong please let me know.

Orange Order Halls in the Republic of Ireland

Taken from cadolemo.com

A few years ago Eamon o Cuiv the minster for the gaeltacht and other things set up a group called cadolemo. This is basically a group that helps the orange order that is based in the republic.  The map shows the halls that are in each county. The numbers are:
Dublin 1
Leitrim 2
Cavan 7
Donegal 16
Monaghan 18
ROI total 44

The pics following come from a facebook page that took some photos of an attempt at a world record of the most orange banners in one parade. The ones here are all from Irish lodges.






Im told that there are plans afoot to resurrect old halls in Dublin and possibly one in Cork.

Northern Ireland catholic protestant make up by wards 2001

Belfast catholic protestant demographics 1991 - 2001






From 91 census. Source wesley Johnston website

From 2001 census. Source PULSE website




From 2001 census. Left diagram represents elderly people the right represents the youth. I don't know what ages were used to decided what constitutes young and old.  Source PULSE website. 

Update: the above is from the cain website. Its shows the wards around belfast as well in 2001.  I'm told by locals that there is a "protestant flight" happening with protestants leaving belfast to go to the ring around it. Ive also heard this called the greening of belfast. The results of the last census should confirm this trend.
