New map of Belfast protestant/catholic populations.

Well not really.. Its just a teaser for what will be. What is new is that what you are looking at are the outlines of new Belfast. All that I've read so far is that these new divsions will give a nationalist majority in the council  chambers. Time will tell.

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.

Potato Famine of the 1840's




The only thing i want to note is that the north was a linen centre and as such didn't rely on the spud for food. The areas which really suffered were the ones that did so. 

See anything else?
