Funny how we tolerate everyone and his son getting a seat in our government, isn't it?
Perhaps Eire isn't quite so accommodating.
It's all speculation. I doubt it will ever happen. The two sides barely tolerate one another as it is.

I had two very dear friends now passed away who were came from Belfast .They were Irish through and through and didn't look down on anyone
They weren't Catholics but were friends with people of of all walks of life religion didn't even come into it.
There are plenty of jokes about Catholics maybe you just have not heard them .

Re: Sinn Fein
The people I knew were of Scots heritage and we didn't discuss religion. They were lovely people until you mentioned the Irish. It was a long time ago and I'm sure things have changed.I've never heard any Catholic or other Christian jokes. Can't have been that popular. Religion isn't that amusing IMHO. The Irish jokes were about making Irish people look stupid. What good Catholic jokes do you know?

A nun at a Catholic school asked her students what they want to be when they grow up.Little Suzy declares, "I want to be a prostitute."
"What did you say?!" asks the nun, totally shocked.
"I said I want to be a prostitute," Suzy repeats.
"Oh, thank heavens," says the nun. "I thought you said 'a Protestant!'"

Re: Sinn Fein
A farmer named Muldoon lived alone in the countryside with a wee dog that he loved and doted on. After many long years of faithful companionship, the dog finally died, so Muldoon went to the parish priest:"Father, my dear old dog is dead. Could you be saying a Mass for him?"
Father Patrick replied, "I am so very sorry to hear about your dog's death. But, unfortunately, I can't say Mass for the poor creature..."
Muldoon said, "I understand, Father, I do. I guess I'll go to this new denomination down the road; no tellin' what they believe... Do you think £500 is enough to donate for the service?"
Father Patrick: "Why didn't you tell me your wee dog was Catholic?!"

My friends were of Scottish heritage too and they were Irish
With all those uber home schooling veil wearing Catholics that you know I'm sure you could have found one with a sense of humour.
