Best Answer

Ireland is an almost 100% Catholic country where the Catholic Church still wields considerable influence which has only diminished somewhat in the wake of numerous sexual-abuse scandals by Irish Catholic bishops, nuns and priests. And a country where a church aims to strongly dominate everyday beliefs and values will want a lot of local churches from where parish priests can do the job.
