Irish demography Empty Irish demography

So before the Anglo-Irish War, Irish demographics stood as:

Irish Catholic: 60%
Scottish Presbyterian: 15%
English Puritan: 10%
Irish Puritan: 5%
English Catholic: 5%
English Anglican: 5%

Post-war, TLS indicated they stood at:

Irish Catholic: 60%
Scottish Presbyterian: 11%
English Catholic: 9%
English Puritan: 7%
Scottish Catholic: 5%
English Anglican: 4%
Irish Puritan: 4%

Is this right? The Scots only gained 1% (and the English held steady), but the addition of 350k to Ireland and the corresponding loss of English settlers seems like there should be a bigger shift from English settlers to Scottish Settlers (perhaps English move to 15% of population and Scottish to 20%). Unless the assumption is that those who migrated out were primarily Scots.

I'm just seeing this now, whoops.

Yes, this is right. Those who migrated out were largely Scots, because they were Ulster Scots Presbyterians who were the core of the rebellion in the North, while the English were (while not entirely exempt from rebelliousness) more inclined to stand pat and hang out. I actually did a detailed run with the exact numbers for my own purposes in order to calculate these %ages, but though it would be superfluous to post them.
