I know about the other groups, not just Catholic but any group deemed dissenting. My bunch are mostly Presbyterian so they'd be included. But I haven't seen any evidence of discrimination against them because I can't trace any of them back very far. Not enough records...but, you already knew that
Up to the 19th Century many of the people whom had left ireland were Presbyterians whom the established church were not in favour of.
It is why Washington had many men from an irish background who were not Catholic during War of Independence in the 1770's.
They opposed the Crown and the United Irishmen were founded by members of the non extablised churches
