Missionaries came to Ireland in order to convert the generally Pagan population to Catholicism . They did this through preaching and combining the teachings of Catholicism with the previous Pagan traditions. This obviously worked as Ireland is now a 90% Catholic nation the other 10% being made up largely of non-nationals who practice different religions. However, a recent survey showed that 86% of people, although claiming to be Catholic, do not attend mass.
