Well, the Irish are certainly undercounted in Newfoundland/St. John's. Many of them write "Canadian" on the census. I believe Newfoundland is about 35% Catholic I believe and St. John's close to 50%, but the Canadian census says 22% and 32% Irish respectively. We know the vast majority of Newfoundlanders are of English Protestant or Irish Catholic roots (the English dominated in the outports, the Irish mostly in St. John's and the Avalon Peninsula).
One interesting thing about Newfoundland too is that the Irish are pre-Famine. They basically bypassed Newfoundland in the Famine years.
