Ireland
During the English and Scottish plantations in Ireland, Protestant settlers, particularly those from England and Scotland, received land. The most notable of these groups were the Scots who settled in the Ulster region, particularly during the early 17th century. These plantations aimed to establish a loyal Protestant population in Ireland, often displacing the native Irish Catholic landholders.

Ireland.
Protestant is a broad term for a number of Christian religions. The Church of Ireland is one of the Protestant Churches in Ireland.
The Ulster Plantation aimed to colonize and develop the northern province of Ulster in Ireland by settling English and Scottish Protestants in the region. This initiative sought to promote loyalty to the English crown, reduce the power of the native Irish Gaelic lords, and encourage economic development through agriculture and industry. The plantation also intended to establish a Protestant majority in a predominantly Catholic area, thereby reinforcing British control and Protestant influence in Ireland.
Northern Ireland is mostly Protestant.
British rulers encouraged English and Scottish Protestants to settle in Ireland, particularly in the northern province of Ulster, during the 17th century. This was part of the Plantation of Ulster, a strategy to consolidate control over Ireland and promote Protestantism in a predominantly Catholic region. The settlement aimed to establish a loyal Protestant population that would strengthen British influence and governance in Ireland.
