时事
The government presented Budget 2027 on 6 October, with income tax cuts, a higher state pension, cheaper childcare and help with the cost of living amid concern over fuel prices. In August five teenagers were killed in a crash on the M9 in County Kildare, and the nation grieved. In July excavations at the former mother and baby home site in Tuam found more infant remains, bringing the total to 99.
我们为以下事项祷告: 即时救援、安全和紧急帮助.
领导与政治
Ireland is a parliamentary republic. The President is Catherine Connolly and the Taoiseach (Prime Minister) is Micheál Martin, with Simon Harris as Minister for Finance. Ireland holds the Presidency of the Council of the European Union from July to December 2026. In September the Taoiseach met UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham, and there is public debate about a proposed Citizens' Assembly on a united Ireland.
我们为以下事项祷告: 为掌权者求智慧、正直和公义.
经济状况
Unemployment is about 5%, but about one in eight young people aged 15 to 24 are out of work, and job growth has slowed. Experts say higher inflation and interest rates may still affect families. Housing is the deepest need: about 17,500 people, including about 5,600 children, were living in emergency accommodation in April 2026, a record level.
我们为以下事项祷告: 家庭的供应和诚实的管理.
社会与文化问题
Ireland has become a more diverse nation, with growing Orthodox, Muslim, Hindu and other communities alongside long-established Irish families. Homelessness weighs heavily on families and children. Groups that track hate speech report incidents against people because of race or religion, and say many go unreported. Grief over road deaths and over the children of the mother and baby homes also marks the nation.
我们为以下事项祷告: 和好、和平,以及对弱势者的保护.
属灵景况
In the 2022 census, about 69% of people in Ireland were Roman Catholic and about 14% said they had no religion, a share that has grown quickly. About 2% were Orthodox Christians, and Church of Ireland and other Protestant, Muslim and Hindu communities are also present. Christians are found in parishes and churches across every county.
我们为以下事项祷告: 属灵的苏醒、盼望和真理的传扬.
宗教自由
The constitution protects the free practice of religion and forbids discrimination because of religion. Most state-funded primary schools, about 88%, are run by the Catholic Church, and the government aims to open more multi-faith schools. The US State Department reports some antisemitic and anti-Muslim incidents, but leaders condemn them. In 2023 about 1,000 Muslims prayed together at Croke Park, with Christian and Jewish leaders present.
我们为以下事项祷告: 保护信徒,使他们能安全自由地敬拜.
历史的创伤
The Great Famine of 1845 to 1849 took about one million lives, and about one million more emigrated. The Troubles in Northern Ireland took more than 3,500 lives, and people of every community, unionist and nationalist, civilians and security forces, still carry loss. The children who died in the mother and baby homes remain a deep sorrow, and families still seek answers.
我们为以下事项祷告: 国家的医治、打破旧有的循环和深层的饶恕.
让我们一起祷告
Our Father, we come to You together for Ireland. Comfort every family who grieves, and give homes and safety to those in emergency accommodation. Give wisdom, integrity and justice to President Catherine Connolly, Taoiseach Micheál Martin and all who lead. Provide for young people seeking work and for every family under pressure. Bring peace between old and new communities, and protect the vulnerable and every child. Let hope and the truth of Jesus be made known in every county. Keep all believers safe and free to worship. Heal the wounds of the Famine, the Troubles and the mother and baby homes, and lead Ireland in forgiveness and peace. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
