Irish American - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Irish Americans are residents or citizens of the United States of America of Irish ancestry. |
 | | A sense of exile, diaspora, and (in the case of songs) even nostalgia is common in Irish America, even though most Irish Americans, along with their parents, grandparents and often great-grandparents, were born in America, do not speak Irish and have never set foot on Irish soil. |
 | | The Irish had a reputation of being very well organized, and, since 1850, have produced a majority of the leaders of the Catholic Church in the U.S., labor unions, the Democratic Party in larger cities, and Catholic high schools, colleges and universities. |
