[[Presbyterian Church in Ireland|Irish Presbyterians]] and other minorities like the [[Quakers]] and [[Jews]] were in the same situation. The collection of tithes was resisted in the period 1831–36, known as the [[Tithe War]]. Thereafter, tithes were reduced and added to rents with the passing of the [[Tithe Commutation Act 1838|Tithe Commutation Act]] in 1836. With the disestablishment of the Church of Ireland by the [[Irish Church Act 1869]], tithes were abolished.
