Ireland is largely a Christian country, mostly Roman Catholic. What are you looking for that this statement doesn't answer?

Christians are believes in a religious faith. Irish is a nationality. While the most common religions are Catholic and Anglican (Chur ch of England), not all Irish are of the Christian faith any more than all Americans are Christians. Being Christian is a decision each person has to make. Being an Irish is a result of birth.

So you are saying that Irish people can't be Christians? Last time I checked, the dominant religion in Ireland is Catholism which is a brand of Christianity.

What is the difference between Americans and Christians? Yours is a meaningless question.
Although I suppose the answer to the above question would be, "Christians mostly believe in evolution as an explanation for the formation of life on Earth..."

Christianity is the dominant religion in Ireland. However, there is a split between Catholic and Protestant beliefs in Ireland. This ideological disagreement has caused countless deaths over the centuries and continues to divide a very small nation.

Christians are people who follow the Christian religion and Irish people are people who were born in Ireland.

Christians can be Irish and Irish people can be Christians. I'm afraid your question makes little sense.

There is no difference, you could say that about Germany people, French people etc.....The majority of Irish are Roman Catholic, then you have the Protestants. But we all worship the same God, so there fore we are all Christian.

There is no difference. Same thing, because all Irish are Christian.
