Irish Ethnic Groups, a Brief History

Descendents of Ireland's original Celtic tribes still make up much of her population today.

Roman conquest-by-sword never quite reached Ireland (although Vikings invaded her shores repeatedly for over two hundred years). Failing to gain much of a military foothold in Ireland, many Scandinavian Vikings married into Irish families, primarily in cities along the western coast: Dublin, Waterford, and Cork.

Eventually, the hearts and minds of Ireland's people were won over by Christian missionaries sent by the Pope beginning in the 5th century. Today her population is more than 75% Catholic.
