Irish segregation refers to the historical practice of segregating the Irish population in Ireland and other parts of the world based on their nationality, religion, or socioeconomic status. 

In the context of Ireland, during the 19th and early 20th centuries, there was a significant divide between the predominantly Protestant and Anglo-Irish ruling class and the predominantly Catholic and native Irish population. This divide led to social, economic, and political inequalities, with the Protestant minority having greater access to power, education, and resources.

One notable example of Irish segregation is the "Gerrymandering" of electoral boundaries in Northern Ireland during the mid-20th century. This practice was aimed at maintaining the dominance of the Protestant Unionist community over the Catholic nationalist community in terms of political representation.

Another example is the discrimination faced by Irish immigrants in countries like the United States, particularly during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The Irish were subjected to discrimination and prejudice due to their Catholic faith, poverty, and perceived lack of assimilation.

However, it is important to note that the extent and nature of Irish segregation varied depending on the time period and geographical location. In recent decades, efforts have been made to address historical inequalities and promote social integration in Ireland and other places with significant Irish populations.
