	Victorian Era book review: The Irish in Victorian Britain
		Another important strand of that first volume was the significance of the Catholic Church to the migrant Irish community; a significant theme as the Church was itself undergoing a period of post-Reformation renewal that was supported and enriched by the expansion of its Irish born congregations.
		This is a useful and sensitive narrative of the community and one senses almost a note of regret at its passing or rather transformation from a religious into a secular "community centre" focused society.
		The neglect of the Irish middle classes is connected to the prejudices surrounding the Irish in Britain.

		The issue of community is an important one for a minority population in Britain because of its relationship to issues of the nation, identity, ethnicity, migration and racism.
		The proclaimed Irish identity, Catholicism and to a lesser extent support for the Labour party of the mid-20th-century migrants are rooted in the material basis of the 1950s migration and settlement in Britain.
		The imagined community of being Irish in Britain, as so far discussed, is one that has been constituted by the sense of a forced migration and the differences and boundaries which were immanent in the problematisation of Irish immigrants.

	Interview with Terry O'hEarcain, IRSP London Co-ordinator
		The IRSP are now here to provide that radical alternative and we have been greatly encouraged by the response we have been getting from not only existing support networks but more especially from Irish youth previously uninvolved in the politics of their community in Britain and the broader struggle back home.
		Being based in Britain you will of course be aware of the mass opposition there is to the IRA violence in this country from the Irish community.
		A few well heeled ëpillarsí of the Irish establishment in Britain go on TV and bleat about how ashamed they are (The same people who remain noticeably silent when Irish people in Britain are bludgeoned and shot to death by the police).

	CAIN: Internment - Irish Republican P.O.W. Campaign Britain
		Britain has consistently argued abroad that the prison system in the north of Ireland is uniquely tailored to the custody of long term prisoners convicted of ‘terrorist’ offences and that there are ample prison places for them.
		Of course, with Irish prisoners even the visiting conditions are designed to reduce such contacts by means of humiliating and disgusting procedures such as the strip searching of prisoners and their visitors which add further barriers to these family relationships.
		The Irish political prisoners in English gaols are in the vanguard of that resistance and the British state recognises that fact, hence the high level of repression against them.

		The Federation of Irish Societies publication Â“The Irish in Britain - an Annotated Bibliography on Health and Related issuesÂ” which became available towards the end of 2000 was of enormous benefit to the authors and this is acknowledged frequently in the report.
		The authors were struck by the small amount of research on the needs of the Irish in Britain, and on the Irish in Britain in general, and on the Irish in London in particular, a major city of the Irish diaspora.
		Much of the research on the needs of the Irish in Britain is not entering the formal research record, it is not working as a cumulative research record, it hard to find and it is repetitive.

		In Luton, the Irish Community Centre is about to be sold by the Tory dominated council for a housing development, and they have no money for and no prospect of a replacement.
		We found the Irish community in England struggling, with very limited resources to cope with a massive set of problems arising from the history of the Irish in Britain who have been long forced to emigrate, long treated as second class citizens, and long used to unemployment.
		The Irish community in Britain now faces a crisis of a scale they cannot cope with on their own.

		Those within the Irish community in Britain, and in the Connolly Association, who were fortunate enough to return and dwell in Ireland, were free to join and be active in whatever political party or organisation they chose.
		Conversely, it believed that the Irish in Britain should not be part and parcel of political parties in Ireland, where divisions weakened the progress that could be made in Britain.

	The Green Ribbon: Irish in Britain
		In the Irish World this week Brent East Labour candidate Yasmin Qureshi answers questions on how she would represent the Irish community in the constituency, which is the largest in Britain.
		The subject of Irish emigration to "the mainland" is almost unmanageably huge - dominated, perhaps, by the story of the "navigators" (navvies) who crossed the Irish Sea, generation after generation, to build England's canals, railroads and motorways.
		As recently as the 1970s, it was argued that the Irish in Britain were unique, because of the fact that their children assimilated totally into the British population within a generation.

		The Irish government initially set aside $300,000 for a dozen Irish centers in U.S. cities for the current 2003-04 fiscal year.

		Ken Livingstone's victory was helped in no small part by London's huge first and second generation Irish community, estimated by some sources at as much as ten percent of the population, who voted overwhelmingly in his favour.
		During the electoral campaign, however, he was obliged to confess that, despite this opposition, he had in fact not voted against the new Terrorism Bill, considered by many human rights organisations to be even more draconian than the PTA.
		His explanation, during `Irish Question Time' in Camden Irish Centre organised by the Irish Post, was that neo-nazi and far-right groups such as the BNP and Combat 18 now represent a sufficient threat to justify the new Bill, although the only groups actually proscribed by it are those proscribed under the PTA - all Irish.

	funferal: TV service for Irish emigrants gets closer, but still not there
		Deputy Emmet Stagg has welcomed moves by RTE seeking to provide a dedicated service to the Irish community in Britain and he called on the Government to Ã¢â‚¬Å“provide for this service as promised in its task force report on the Irish abroadÃ¢â‚¬Â.
		In fact the financial cost of providing RTE signals to Britain would be covered by an additional 10p per week from the Irish television licence.
		This was detailed in the task force on Irish emigrants published three years ago and despite promises by Ministers and the Taoiseach himself we are no closer to realising this important goal.

		The North London Irish venue had been booked by an individual member of the IRSP GB for a public meeting to discuss the validity of the ongoing and so-called peace process.
		However the meeting was abandoned as a result of publicity, not of the RSM's making, and an important chance for the Irish community in Britain to express their thoughts on the "Peace Process" was lost.
