Irish church-state initiative begins with government meeting Protestant leaders April 23, 2007
The Irish government has formally inaugurated an initiative of collaboration with religious leaders, meeting first with representatives of the Church of Ireland.
Prime Minister Bertie Ahern met with the Church of Ireland Archbishops Alan Harper of Armagh and John Neill of Dublin on May 23.
The Church of Ireland, a branch of the worldwide Anglican communion, represents just under 3% of Ireland's population, making it the second-largest religious body in the country. The Catholic Church forms an overwhelming majority, with over 88% of the nation's people. Irish government leaders will meet later with Catholic Church leaders.
