1920 Church Act

The 1920 Church Act was an Irish law aimed at reducing religious inequalities by providing equal funding to both Church of Ireland and Roman Catholic churches. Previously, Protestant churches received government support, while Catholics did not. The Act allocated state funds fairly, helping to promote religious equality. However, it was controversial and faced opposition from different groups, leading to its partial repeal in 1932. Overall, it was a step toward balancing religious funding and reducing religious discrimination in Ireland.
