We are undertaking this research in order to build a clearer and more accurate picture of church presence across the Republic of Ireland. At present, the landscape is often understood only in fragments, through denominational lists, local knowledge, or partial networks, which makes it difficult to see where churches are well established, where the witness is thin or fragile, and where places may have little Gospel presence at all. By mapping churches carefully and gathering reliable local information, we hope to create a resource that serves churches, leaders, and networks by helping them understand the current reality more clearly, strengthen what already exists, encourage wiser partnership, and think more strategically about gospel witness in the years ahead.
