Ironworkers Emigrating to Ireland (General)

No but were they RC religion? Why I am asking is that my family were iron workers in the FOD and were RC (recusants) and this may have been a reason for people wanting to move to Ireland. However, it's less likely if the employer was a supporter of Cromwell than of the King. It might just be an indication of how people had to move about because of the job from one part of the British Isles to another.
