Why did Irish Catholics support King James in his war with King William between 1688 - 1691?
James was a catholic who would have repealed some of the penal laws oppressing Irish catholics while Willaim was a protestant. --- edit; William of Orange had a reputation of violence against Catholics in Europe and was recruited by political forces in England to ride in on the coat tail of his wife Mary, to do the same in England and it's territory, Ireland. The subsequent reign was known as that of "William and Mary" because it was only Mary who had any legitimate claim to the throne.

How did the conflict between Catholics and Protestants in Ireland affect the people living there?
It wasn't so much between Catholics and protestants as between Irish (who were mostly Catholic) and Englishmen (who were mostly protestant). The Irish objected to the English (and their descendants) living in their country and oppressing them, particularly as English law suppressed the Catholic faith, and the practice thereof. It made life particularly difficult for Irish Catholics for whom the practice of their faith was illegal. One of the unforeseen benefits was, that for the most part, the Catholic faith of the Irish was particularly strong, comparable to the oppressed Catholics in Poland. As the Catholics have gained ascendancy, they have started to lose their faith and become indistinguishable from other modern people.
