Tbh i was not aware that Ireland was ever in love with Joe Biden?
JFK and Biden both had Irish Catholic ancestry and were afforded favor with at least half of Ireland based on that.
Are you thinking of Northern Ireland (part of the UK)? Ireland is more than two-thirds Catholic.
Did you mean to reply to me? Thank you for confirming my claim.
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
