2 - Newfoundland
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 December 2019
Summary
The island of Newfoundland was the only jurisdiction larger than a municipality outside of Ireland itself that had a (transient) Irish Catholic majority. It was also a Dominion in its own right until 1949, the constitutional equal of Australia, New Zealand, or Canada. The link between Irish ethnicity and Catholic faith was central to the Island’s history and development and is the subject of this chapter.
