about 90% off all ireland, the majority of the 10% of the non Catholic population live in the north east... the Catholic population will continue to rise both due to increase Birth Rate and Immigration from eastern Europe.
Ireland proper is nearly 89% Catholic, while Northern Ireland is about 41%, although I doubt of all of the people counted as "Catholic" are practicing. According to the U.S. State Department:
According to official government statistics collected during the 2002 census, the religious affiliation of the population is 88.4 percent Roman Catholic, 2.9 percent Church of Ireland (Anglican), 0.52 percent Presbyterian, 0.25 percent Methodist, 0.49 percent Muslim, and less than 0.1 percent Jewish. Northern Ireland, which is a separate country and is part of England has a much different breakdown:
Religion in Northern Ireland (2011)[1] Catholicism (40.8%)
Presbyterianism (19.1%)
Anglicanism (13.7%)
Non-religious (10.1%)
Not stated (6.8%)
Methodism (3.0%)
Other Christian (5.8%)
Other religions (0.8%)

What is the protestant terrorist group whose main goal is to rid Ireland of catholics?
The largest Protestant paramilitary/terrorist group throughout "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland has been the Ulster Defense Association (sometimes it operated under the moniker Ulster Freedom Fighters). It was formed in 1971 and continued operations (i.e. attacks) up until the 2007 agreement. However, the earlier Ulster Volunteer Force, formed in 1965, was far more deadly in its attacks - roughly twice as many people were killed by the UVF as the UDA/UFF. Neither group (nor any other substantially-sized Protestant group during The Troubles) sought to rid Ireland of Catholics. Instead, both were formed to keep the existing Eire/Northern Ireland split permanent (i.e. to oppose any unification of mostly-Catholic Eire with mostly-Protestant Northern Ireland). In general, they were not specifically purposed with ridding even just Northern Ireland of Catholics. However, they showed no problems with helping oppress Northern Ireland Catholics, and were intent on preventing them from achieving any real political power in Northern Ireland. And, obviously, the vast majority of both groups' victims were Catholic.
