    What the large company policies on hiring in Northern Ireland? Do they have to hire an equal number of protestant and catholic’s? Are there any legislation regarding this? I am doing this for a college assignment; I would be very grateful for your help.

    Firstly I don't think there are any affirmative action type regulations up north.

    Secondly, use the spell checker and get someone to proof read your assignment.

    You could try the following link

    As far as I know the 50/50 rule for hiring people only applies to the Police (PSNI), but there are rules for trying to encourage say protestants to to work in a firm with a mainly catholic workforce and to encourage catholics to work in a manily protestant workforce firm.

    I hope this is of some help
