Catholic Answer I think this is more a question of human beings who happen to be Catholic versus other humans who happen to be protestant who use their religion as something to justify their prejudices.

In most of Ireland that does not happen. Protestants, Catholics and those of other religions live in the same places. It is only a feature in Northern Ireland.

So that is what happens in Northern Ireland. Even in Northern Ireland though, there are places where Catholics and Protestants do live together or close to each other, so it is not completely segregated, as often portrayed or believed to be.
