	Irish language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Irish (Gaeilge), a Goidelic language spoken in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Australia, Canada, and the United States, is constitutionally recognised as the first official language of the Republic of Ireland.
		Irish is given recognition by the Constitution of Ireland as the first official language of the Republic of Ireland (with English being a second official language), despite the limited distribution of fluency among the population of that country.
		Munster Irish is spoken in the Gaeltachtaí of Kerry (Contae Chiarraí), Muskerry (Múscraí), Cape Clear (Oileán Chléire) in the western part of County Cork (Contae Chorcaí), and the tiny pocket of Irish-speakers in An Rinn near Dungarvan (Dún Garbháin) in County Waterford (Contae Phort Láirge).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Irish (In Countries Other Than Ireland)
		Who were the first Irish to land on the American continent and the time of their arrival are perhaps matters of conjecture rather than of historical proof; but that the Irish were there almost at the beginning of the colonial era is a fact support by historical records.
		While men of the Irish race were engaged on the battlefield in defence of their adopted country, accompanied and encouraged by the clergy, the religious orders of women within the Church were no less diligent in nursing the sick and wounded in camps and hospitals.
		To the American-born son of Irish immigrants, Dr. Joseph O'Dwyer, humanity the world over is indebted for the process of intubation of the larynx in cases of diphtheria and the invention of the instruments used in that operation.

	Irish Diaspora
		In fact Irishness as a concept seems to me at its strongest when it reaches out to everyone on this island and shows itself capable of honouring and listening to those whose sense of identity, and whose cultural values, may be more British than Irish.
		We realize that while a great part of our concern for their situation, as Irish men and women who have a past which includes famine, must be at practical levels of help, another part of it must consist of a humanitarian perspective which springs directly from our self-knowledge as a people.
		But if cherishing the diaspora is to be more than a sentimental regard for those who leave our shores, we should not only listen to their voice and their viewpoint.

		The Irish Diaspora is his sixth major work in the area and is offered as a primer or elementary text book.
		Rather than being dominated by Catholics, Akenson concludes that the religious affiliation of Irish emigrants was roughly similar to that of the entire Irish population, with Protestants constituting between a third and a quarter of the exodus.
		Despite his initial observation that the Irish diaspora was a 'marvellously complex phenomenon,' this insight is occasionally subordinated to the desire to establish a particular macroscopic portrayal of the Irish emigrant experience.

		(The large total does also not include descendants of earlier immigrants who may have still held some affinity to their Irish heritage.) The bulk of the immigrants served in largely Irish units, though the organizational placement of those Irish units in the Union and Confederate armies was considerably different.
		It helps to understand how the armies were formed but it is also impossible to ignore that there was a certain amount of distrust and discrimination against the Irish in the United States at the time the war broke out.
		Since the largely Catholic Irish were not completely trusted by their Protestant neighbors, particularly in the North, they generally joined separate units.

		The first Irish came to Canada looking for cod fish, but many Canadians still remember the invasion of the quixotic Fenians, whose aim was to "liberate" Canada from British rule after the American Civil War.
		Irish journalist Coogan, who has written several books on Irish history and culture (e.g., The Man Who Made Ireland: The Life and Death of Michael Collins), here details the story of the Irish Diaspora, or emigration, which began with the Irish Potato Famine and the subsequent emigrations of the 1840s.
		Also in relation to the Irish churches influence on the world, he was right to highlight the great work done by missionaries but I do feel he could have given more information on the downside,i.e the minority who gave missionaries a bad name, those who ran the orphanages and industrial schools.

		Due to the success of the Irish economy and Ireland’s performance and enhanced status on European and international levels this trend of outward migration is being reversed.
		The country is experiencing two strands of inward migration: Irish emigrants returning and new people arriving from other countries, cultures and ethnicities leading to more ethnic and cultural diversity and vibrancy.

		This volume results from a conference on the Irish diaspora held in Dublin in 1977, and follows current trends of comparative case studies to illuminate the migration experience.
		The essays are grouped into four areas: the Irish in Great Britain; in the Americas; in the empire; and general Irish studies, though one wonders whether a thematic organisation might have been more suitable.
		The Irish appear to have adopted strategies aimed at gaining access to the receiving culture though the pace and success achieved differed over time and between places.
