Northern Ireland![]() The UK: England - Scotland - Wales - Northern ireland London: History - Places to Visit - Transport British History Northern Ireland Northern Ireland, with a population of more than 1.6 million, consists of six of the nine counties of the old Irish Province of Ulster. Just over 50 percent of the people regard themselves as Protestants and just under 40 percent as Roman Catholics.
Most Protestants are descendants of Scots or English settlers who crossed to north-eastern Ireland, mainly in the 17th century; they are mostly British by culture and tradition and committed to maintaining the Union with Great Britain. The Roman Catholic population is mainly Irish by culture and history, the majority favouring a united Ireland.
Nature has been generous to Northern Ireland. Although compact in size, it has a rich variety of scenery and cultural attractions, a rapidly growing economy and a first class environment for living as well as doing business. |
