Yes. Saying “at least half of Ireland” made it sound like you thought Ireland was divided in its religious affiliations. It would make sense if you were talking about Northern Ireland, which has faced more than a century of bitter sectarian division, but Ireland is solidly Catholic.

Thanks. I’m not Irish. I knew Ireland was at least half catholic, but now I understand that it is some percentage more, approaching 100%! Cheers! <3
