Religion in the Republic of Ireland
The predominant religion in the Republic of Ireland is Christianity, with the largest church being the Roman Catholic Church. The Irish constitution says that the state may not endorse any particular religion and guarantees freedom of religion.
Ahmadiyya in the Republic of Ireland
However, the rise of the Ahmadiyya religious activity in Ireland has largely been a consequence of the religious activity in the United Kingdom, through immigration and otherwise. Among the notable converts was Ibrahim Noonan. Though a native of Waterford, in the South-East of Ireland, he became an Ahmadi Muslim whilst residing in London, after reading "Murder in the Name of Allah", a book authored by the fourth caliph. He currently serves as an Imam in Galway city. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community was formally registered in the country in 1992.
