This data tells me that Ireland is a fairly good, healthy, and wealthy country. It shows that Education wasn’t a huge deal in the early days. Now, no matter how much their parents make, they make sure their kids go to school. The second graph shows the population growing, but barely any aid has been needed to be given to Ireland's citizens. The third graph shows, the income per person as to their life expectancy. In 1817, people barely made anything and they ended up passing before the age of 40. Now people make about $60,000 and they’re expected to live well into their eighty's.

Top Religions of Ireland:
History of the Roman Catholic religion in Ireland: Ireland has been Catholic since the beginning. "Ireland was a land of saints and scholars". (Edwards). The Irish men created manuscripts and architecture, even though they were in the presence of the Dark Ages. The Catholicism of Ireland was not a roman conquest as others may argue, but it was brought to Ireland by missionaries and believers. It has been argued that the Romans didn't even know of Ireland, and had no presence there. The Catholicism, then, was done and claimed by and for the Irish men and women. History of the Church of Ireland: You can trace the Church of Ireland back to St. Patrick in the fifth century. The Irish Church has been known for having many followers in Ireland. In 1537, the king was head of the Church, but most Irish Christians continued their support to Rome instead of the king and the monarchy. The Irish Church Act of 1869 made it so that the English and Irish churches could not be combined anymore by law. A General Synod of the Church, established in 1890 has legislative and administrative power over Ireland.
The role of religion in Ireland: In the past, religion played a much greater role in Ireland than it does today. The 1901 census showed that the vast majority of Irish people were professed Roman Catholics, with a Protestant majority only in the north of the country. (askaboutireland.ie) There were arguments and differences among the religions and traditions of Ireland as well as every other country. It is evident how religion and the difference of religion has an effect on every individual in every/ any stage of life and any place in society.
Sacred places for religion in Ireland? There are many sacred religious places in Ireland. There are landmarks like Clonmacnoise in County Offlay, Dowth in County Meath, and Trinity college in Dublin. There are Churches like Christ Church Cathedral, St. Audoen’s Church, and St. Mary’s Pro-Cathedral all of which are in Dublin. There is St. Michigan’s Church St. Patrick’s cathedral, Newgrange, and Monasterboice in Dublin and County Louth. Also, you can see Gallarus Oratory, Glendalough, and the Hill of Tara. There is also the very fascinating Knock Shrine, Knowth, Mt. Croagh Patrick, and Mellifont Abbey. Finally There's the Rock of Cashel, Riasc Monastic Settlement, and the Skellig Michael.
Government and Religions in Ireland: The government of Ireland is based on the constitution of 1937, as amended. This document proclaims Ireland a sovereign, independent, democratic state. The constitution also defines the national territory as the whole of Ireland. The country became a republic in 1949. There is no evidence of religions having any effect on the government.

Food in Ireland
If I could paint you a picture of what the people of Ireland eat, it would include some or all of the following. Fish, cheese, beer, potatoes, lamb, hamburgers, pizza, and fast-food like McDonald's, Burger King, Subway, KFC, and Pizza Hut. The arrival of the Anglo-Saxon's to Ireland in 1169 brought wheat, beans, and peas to be the main foods. In the 1500's the potato was introduced, and since the potato famine, has become the biggest part or Irish tradition. Religious beliefs didn't bring new foods into their culture, but cuts them out of it. Like during Lent, one cannot eat anything an animal produced like milk or eggs. On Good Friday, they eat hot cross buns, topped with a frosting cross that holds spiritual meaning. On All Saints' Day, no Catholic can eat meat, so they plan meatless dishes. Finally, for Christmas they eat spiced red meat and a fruit cake. Where does Ireland get their food supply? Well a lot of Northern Ireland grows their vegetables like rhubarb, chard, sprouts, runner beans, sweet corn, onions, parsley and celery. They are like any other colonized country though, they have food imported from other countries; but it's unknown if they do any exporting.
