In the 2001 National Census about 46% of the population said that they belonged to the protestant faith.

With a population of about 1.5 million at that time that equates to 700,000 people.

Why do protestants not want a united Ireland?

Some people in the North of Ireland, Ulster, want to remain as part of the United Kingdom under British rule. And yes, they have different religious views to the Roman catholics who live there, and these Catholic people see their affinity to the Irish Republic governed from Dublin. Sadly this has led to a protracted period of violence, called the Troubles. The protestant majority (in the north) see the Dublin government as a foreign power. Hopefully power sharing as we seem to have these days has put the Troubles behind us, and the people of Ireland, whatever their religious differences can live together in peace. The Good Friday Agreement between Tony Blair & Bertie Ahern, as well as the Reverend Ian Paisley & Martin McGuinness, appears to have had a very big impact on the Province, and we no longer see the violence from there on our news programmes. I am not saying that everything is sweetness & light, but it is incomparably better now than it once was. Quite why the Irish can play Rugby Union as a united country (& always have) is a moot point ! well they have been under British rule so long they when you are occupied by another country for so long you may like there ways more how run the country things they with the population of the rest of Britain they could have lower taxes more benefits things like that all so by staying in the UK they wont have to pay this huge dept we have
