As stated in the introduction to this report, the traditional religion of Ulster is Ashkenazic or “the religion of Irish Travellers”.
This statement is particularly true in County Down, where the Protestant majority predominates and Catholic are the predominant ethnic groups.
There is no such thing as Ashkenazi or Protestant in County Down. Both are homogeneous with very few exceptions.

Is County Down Catholic or Protestant? (i.e. not both) Or is it County Down, South Australia? (South Australia is home to Down which lies between the two counties of County Down and the present-day Port Angeles Mountains? This question is frequently met with confusion as to whether or not they are both in County Down, or whether they are just as likely to call themselves “Northern Ireland” if not “Ireland” (or both if they so wish).

When did this question and answer for “Northern Ireland” become an umbrella term?
When the status of Northern Ireland was finalised in 1921. In essence this meant that the issue of territory for the IRA could not be discussed at Westminster.
It is an irony that the region that comprised Northern Ireland had until the very end of the Troubles been a part of the UK (1921-40). The use of the term ‘Northern Ireland’ to describe the region after the Isles was outlawed was, in fact, to deal a blow to the British power-brokers.
…it is but one part of the picture which reveals that Northern Ireland is an integral part of the whole of Ireland and is a keystone of the constitutional position of the UK as the legal and constitutional seat of Northern Ireland.
in particular it points to the future part of the Irish border between the rivers Londonderry and Tyrone as an absolute right and limit and that this will be achieved through the exercise of “one government, two governments” for the region.
