August 15th is the feast of the Assumption, and it looks like some wrong one have been made on this thread.

Hrothgar thats a very broad statement about the Irish and their Christianity, but I know what you mean. A couple of years ago there was a discussion on the Radio about the numbers of refugees and asylum seekers coming into Ireland. During the dabate someone said that they were worried that with all these foreigners coming in that Ireland would cease to be a Christian country ! Ironic or what ?
