Religion in ireland today is very different to what it was 40 years ago this is probably because of all the findings over recent time! The catholic church was once a very powerful force that ruled the land what ever they said went. this can not be said now as the majority of people today dont even go to mass on sunday. This was a mortal sin years ago and people took pride in going to mass, they would dress in there best "sunday" clothes with there head held high. With my generation this is not the case, we roll out of bed on sunday in our best "night before clothes" and a smell of drink that would "kill a horse" and the only thing we might have our head held high about is "that young one we pulled last night".
This is because we as in my generation we have a lot more money now to go out on a saturday to drink. We aren't worried about mass all we care about is having the crack! also i dont think families put as much pressure on there children to go to mass like was the case 40 years ago. Another factor which has to be taken into account is the fact that a lot of students have part time jobs and work sundays so they dont get a chance to go to mass. Ireland has become more concerned about socialising and Religious beliefs than going to mass.
