The chart displays percentage breakdowns of religious denominations in Ireland from 1861 through 2011 using stacked bars, with Roman Catholic (olive green) consistently dominant but decreasing from ~40% to ~40% (with relative share shrinking due to population growth and diversification). Other groups-including Church of Ireland (dark blue), Presbyterian (purple), Methodist (medium blue), and “No Religion” (gray)-show notable growth, especially post-1991. Non-Christian religions and “Not Stated” remain small but increasing segments.
