Yes I am guessing from the context it was written it would be suggesting “very few.” Maybe “enthusiastic” is the wrong word here-“fervent” or something like that might be a better choice. In the context of the article I think he is trying to suggest that other matters besides religion were prioritised by the colonists.
I came accross it twice in a paper I was trying to translate by Nicholas Canny.
“Ba bheag an difríocht a rinne na socruithe seo do chéimíocht shóisialta na n-úinéirí Éireannacha.”
(These arrangements made little difference to the social rank of the Irish landowners.)“Ba bheag go mba Phrotastúnaigh dhíograiseacha uilig iad na coilínigh Shasanacha agus Albanacha a d’aistrigh go hÉirinn sna blianta seo.”
(Very few of those English and Scottish colonists who moved to Ireland in these years were enthusiastic Protestants.)Are my translations correct?
