If this person was a differenct colour, spoke a different language, was part of the LGBT community, was Jewish, or Hindu, or Sikh, this situation would be stamped out immediately, but in Northern Ireland, decades of division have normalised incidents like these, with no current political will from Westminster to resign the status quo to the past.
Unfortunately, the tories are content to propagate these issues, as the situation regularly serves their purpose, whether it’s DUP MPs supporting a minority government, or the protocol agreement being used as a bargaining chip with the EU.
There’s not much the local police will do for this type of discrimination I imagine, but I’m fairly sure AirBnB won’t want to keep someone on the books who is this prejudiced.
This being said, this is also one of the {placename}[live.co.uk](https://live.co.uk) series of ‘news’ sites, that are just shittier versions of the Sun and the Mail and specialise in shitty clickbait nonsense that only drives divisions, and should be flatly ignored.

Sounds like a catholic person tried to visit Northern Ireland during “national no catholic outside day”. Well duh!
It is quite literally impossible to tell if someone’s Catholic or not so I’m interested to see how they could differentiate
Unionist culture at its finest.
Let’s not forget that our two main parties cosy up the the throwbacks that stoke this kind of hatred and intolerance.
As an atheist, I wonder if I would be more or less welcome than Cliona at this airbnb.
Discrimination is so petty and weird when you’re completely outside of that system. Christians hating other Christians for not being the right Christian? Utterly silly.
“Ah bejeezers my jeezers is better than your jeezers”
Don’t let anybody tell you this is an Irish only problem. Scotland is just as anti-Catholic as the North.
When I lived up there a as a teen I was crashing on my mate’s couch after a night on the town. His wee sister told their mother I was a Catholic and she went ballistic screaming at the top of her lungs to get the !@#$ out of her house before she attacked me. I made a hasty exit through the back door. Mate still laughs about this.

When you have unelected peers [questioning](https://twitter.com/KilclooneyJohn/status/1547475831651459073?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet) the religion of prospective Prime Ministers (despite Boris being RC, so the tweet is a bit late) and the police taking no action to halt threats towards ‘neutral’ politicians, let alone those of other religions, then one understands why, in 2022, this behaviour continues.
