| | Irish people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The diaspora contains over 80 million people; it is believed that roughly one third of the Presidents of the United States of America had at least some Irish descent. | | | This could be a partial explanation for the decrease in the number of those citing Irish ancestry in the censuses. | | | The classic image of an Irish immigrant is led occasionally by racist and anti-Catholic stereotypes. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Irish (In Countries Other Than Ireland) |
| | The pathetic case is cited in the same documents of Cullen, or Collins, an Irish soldier who, after the fall of Oswego, in 1756, was seen with his wife and children drifting in an open boat over Lake Ontario on his way to some French settlement. | | | The great increase in these societies, and the fact that in important political contests their members were arrayed almost in a unit in opposition to political parties identified with these anti-Catholic movements, were made pretexts for accusing the Irish of a certain clannishness which unfitted them to be good citizens. | | | Besides these societies which are of national extent, numerous other smaller societies have been organized, mostly since 1840, and in the larger cities of the Eastern states, each society comprising immigrants or their descendants from particular counties in Ireland. |

| | Some claim that because of this, state intervention was quicker, more effective, and more directed than had been the case in the 1840s. | | | Few Irish historians accept outright such a definition, as "genocide" implies a deliberate policy of extermination. | | | The initial British government response towards the early famine was, in the view of many historians such as F.S.L. Lyons 'prompt and relatively successful'.[3] Furthermore, contrary to myth, as Professor Joe Lee observed: |

| | CHERISHING THE IRISH DIASPORA (The Irish Emigrant, Galway, Ireland) |
| | The thousands of men and women and children who came to those camps were, as the Irish of the 1840s were, defenceless in the face of catastrophe. | | | Diaspora, in its meaning of dispersal or scattering, includes the many ways, not always chosen, that people have left this island. | | | I have also met men and women who may never have seen this island but whose identity with it is part of their own self-definition. |

| | Dezell repeats the conclusions of other social scientists that the Irish are the most financially successful, best educated and politically most liberal white ethnic group after Jewish Americans. | | | Their world view marks a radical departure from that of their predecessors who landed on America's shores starving, diseased and impoverished in the 1840s. | | | The Irish who fled their native land, primarily during the 19th century, were the original "boat people." Their descendants numbered 44 million people, according to the 1990 census of the United States. |
