Raphael Siev, the Museum’s founder and curator, spoke of "three hemorrhages" that reduced the Jewish population of Ireland from its peak of nearly 6,000 in the 1940s to 1,200 today.
The Judaism of Ireland is nominally Orthodox, but is a more liberally interpreted version than in the U.S. Dublin's two remaining Orthodox synagogues are merging, and there is a Progressive temple that is comparable to Reform.
Ireland is a country with a future, but not for the Jews.

The Real IRA, a dissident group opposed to the IRA cease-fire of 1997 and Northern Ireland's Good Friday peace accord of 1998, claimed responsibility for bombing Omagh.
The death toll was particularly high because police, responding to vague telephoned warnings, unwittingly evacuated workers and residents toward the bomb, which detonated in the middle of a crowd.
