	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.
		Irish names, however, are met with occasionally in the documents relating to these settlements; it is certain that there were Irish Catholics in the Virginia Colony prior to 1633.
		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.

		In 1879, Terence Powderly, a son of Irish immigrants, was elected head of the Knights of Labor, a national association of labor unions.
		The son of Irish immigrants, Henry Ford would go down in the history books as the man responsible for introducing the concept of mass-production and for making the first car affordable to the middle class, the Model T. Single handedly, Ford created a social and economic revolution in a class of its own.
		Irish immigrants played a significant role in diversifying the early American populous and paved the way for future ethnic groups to do the same.

	Authors on the Web - 2002 Irish Author Roundtable
		Historically, the Irish were deprived of political and social autonomy, of education, of language.
		Writers are an integral part of Irish culture not separate from it. Growing up obviously the stories of Oscar Wilde would have had an influence alongside the short stories of people like Frank O'Connor and Liam O' Flaherty.
		Yeats was quite correct when he insisted that Irish writing had to be founded upon the rich past and not simply be a copy of English writing.

Many other anthologies are discussed in the introduction.

	Irish Echo Online - Arts
		Its construction was associated very much with Irish labor, and its planning with an Irish hero, the former Democratic governor of New York State, Al Smith, who had recently been the first Catholic to make a serious bid for the presidency.
		Irish Americans were prominent in the city's political and businesses classes, as author Dennis Smith has pointed out in "San Francisco is Burning," but also dominated the fire department that ultimately managed to save the city's wharves and railway sheds, allowing rebuilding later.
		But they are also increasingly acknowledging, as unionists have traditionally done, the sacrifice of Irish soldiers who fought in World War I. The spring and summer will see commemorations that have even greater potential for provoking controversy and recalling raw emotions: the 25th anniversary of the deaths of 10 hunger strikers in Long Kesh.

		Indigence is a profiable condition for a novelist (so long as it is brief and not too taxing).
		The Irish have scores of writers, but most of us are dreadful.
		In an often sententiously anti-Irish novel this was inevitable and was also a clumsy satire on how Joyce, that least Mickish of all Irish writers, had been seamlessly incorporated into the global industry of fake Irishness.

	A Bibliography of Secondary Literature on Anthony Trollope's Irish Novels, La Vendée and Essays on Ireland
		For Trollope the reader will find the instalment and volumed publication of 34 of his novels in their instalment and earliest volumed forms from Framley Parsonage through to The Landleaguers, including all novellas that were serialised.
		For the Irish novels, beyond The Landleaguers, Vann includes only An Eye for An Eye because The Macdermots, The Kellys and O'Kellys, and Castle Richmond were not serialised.
		I include La Vendee on this list as although it is a singleton, Trollope's only historical novel (and thus also listed under "Novels in General"), it is metaphorically about Ireland as the French counter-revolution was often used in Trollope's day as a way of talking about Ireland in the 1830s and 1840s.
