| Zusammenfassung: | Using data from the 2016 Census of Population of the Republic of Ireland which reports on marriages and religions, this paper seeks to address the issue of ‘mixed marriages’; not only Catholic-Protestant marriages but others who have crossed the boundary between one realm and another through marriage. Written from the perspective of a demographic statistician this paper uses all ‘official’ data, limited though that data may be. In particular the paper explores the only census table which deals with marriages between people of different religions. Special attention is paid to those in ‘migrant’ groups which have increased their numbers dramatically in the least 50 years. Data is explored which distinguishes between those living in Dublin and those living elsewhere; data is also explored for married woman aged under 40. Conclusions are drawn which relate this limited data to historical evidence. |
