Irish Protestant
Orange Order member
A person of Protestant faith from Ireland or of Irish descent—typically associated with the Church of Ireland, Presbyterianism, or other non-Catholic denominations.
The term carries historical weight due to centuries of religious and political division on the island.
Irish Protestants are concentrated in Northern Ireland, where they form the majority and have traditionally favored union with Britain, distinguishing them culturally and politically from the predominantly Catholic Republic of Ireland: Her family were Irish Protestants from Belfast.
