Abstract
It has been said that the Irish are the most catechised but among the least evangelised
in Europe. This article examines the contemporary situation of religious education in
Ireland with a particular focus on its ecumenical aspects. It begins by outlining the
historical journey in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that led Ireland to the current
situation. On that basis it considers some of the issues that have arisen in recent times that
have seen a dramatic change in religious practice in Ireland. It explores the issue of the
relationship of parish, school and family.
