Irish Catholics (Irish: Caitlicigh na hÉireann) are an ethnoreligious group native to Ireland[12][13] whose members are both Catholic and Irish. They have a large diaspora, which includes over 31 million American citizens,[14] plus over 7 million Irish Australians, of whom around 67% adhere to Catholicism.[15][16][17]
