In 1991, the population of the Republic of Ireland was approximately 3 Protestant, but the figure was over 10 in 1891, indicating a fall of 70 in the relative Protestant population over the past century. The effect of Protestant depopulation in the Republic of Ireland is dramatic. In 1861 only the west coast and Kilkenny were less than 6 Protestant. Dublin and 2 of the border counties were over 20 Protestant. In 1991, however, all but 4 counties were less than 6 Protestant the rest were less than 1 . There are no counties in the Republic of Ireland which have experienced a rise in the relative Protestant population over the period 1861 to 1991. Often, the counties which have managed to retain the highest proportion of Protestants are the ones which started off with a large proportion. In Northern Ireland, only counties Derry, Tyrone and Armagh have experienced a significant loss of the relative Protestant population and in these cases the change is not as dramatic as in the Republic. 21st Century growth The 2006 census of the Republic of Ireland found that a little over 5 of the nation was Protestant.

Protestant Christianity has existed in various forms throughout much of France s history. Today Protestants in France number over one million, or about two percent of the country s population. Waldensians The first extant Protestant tradition is often identified as the Waldensians , who originated through the teachings of Peter Waldo , a wealthy merchant of Lyon who lived in the 12th century. The Waldensians later moved to Northern Italy, where they experienced near decimation from Catholic authorities until the Reformation, when they affiliated with the Calvinists and other Reformed Christian groups of Switzerland, Germany and France. The group still exists in Italy, Germany, Brazil and the United States. Huguenots The Huguenots of the Reformed Church of France emerged from the teachings of John Calvin , and became the major Protestant sect in France until a large portion of the population died in massacres or were deported from French territory. The group survived until the end of the monarchy and the restoration of full citizenship for Huguenots by the French Revolutionaries. Today, the Huguenots number about one million, or about two percent of the population They are most concentrated in southeastern France and the C vennes region in the south. Later establishments The Evangelical Lutheran Church established a Evangelical Lutheran Church Synod of France and Belgium synod for France and Belgium in 1927, while the Latter Day Saints have been active in France for as far as the 1850s. Many Evangelical Protestant sects would be established in France in the post WWII period, many of which would derive their liturgical styles from North American evangelical charismatic or pentecostal movements.
