Ireland
In a poll for Ireland 's state broadcasters RTE it was found that about 50 percent of people aged 18 or older attend weekly Mass, down 10 percentage points from a similar poll taken in 1998. Weekly Mass attendance in rural areas was 60 percent, down 17 percentage points from 1998, while in urban areas it was 43 percent, down 5 percentage points. Until the 1970s, such polls rated weekly Mass attendance nationwide above 90 percent.
