In December 1864 the Evening Star in Washington, DC, advertised appearances by the “great Irish comedic vocalist” Kathleen O’Neill. People crowded halls throughout the United States to hear O’Neill’s critically acclaimed song titled “No Irish Need Apply.” The song spoke of a young woman’s experience with anti-Irish economic discrimination in England. The Irish American audience flocked to the recital because they were attracted to songs that referenced the language of prejudice they faced in their daily lives. Later, John F. Poole rewrote the song to change the perspective to that of a male worker in the United States. “No Irish Need Apply” became an “immense success,” and “Comic-Vocalist[s]” such as Tony Pastor performed it to Irish audiences across North America. For many Irish Americans the phrase “No Irish Need Apply” (NINA) embodied antiIrish discrimination in a predominantly Anglo-Protestant society. The public memory of NINA is so strong that former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley placed a replica NINA advertisement in his office to remind him of his ancestors’ struggle. In 2002 historian Richard Jensen published an article challenging the notion that “No Irish Need Apply” signs and job advertisements were widespread throughout the United States. Jensen examined “all the text of the several

Since the early 1970S, United States law enforcement agencies have played an important role in the Northern Ireland conflict. The FBI, in particular, worked closely with British and Irish security forces to counteract transatlantic support for the Provisional Irish Republican Army. This usually involved surveillance of republican support groups and prosecution of Irish American gunrunning networks. In addition, the Immigration and Naturalization Service vigorously pursued Irish Republican Army fugitives in the United States, helping secure a number of high-profile deportations and extraditions, while the State Department enforced a strict policy of visa denial against prominent leaders of Sinn Féin. Taken collectively, these initiatives made it increasingly difficult for the IRA to utilize Irish America as a source for arms procurement, financial support, and publicity. The White House, on the other hand, has generally kept out of Northern Ireland affairs. Involvement rarely went beyond the annual St. Patrick’s Day appeal, initiated by Gerald Ford, for Irish Americans not to support the IRA. It was not until 1977 that Jimmy Carter launched the first presidential initiative on Northern Ireland, promising financial and economic assistance in the event of a political breakthrough. Later, Ronald Reagan, despite refusing to

It Is a truth attested by multiple studies that “Returned Yank” depictions cannot escape some form of relationship (wanted or not) with the most famous screen incarnation of the condition: John Ford’s The Quiet Man (1952). From its production onward, Ford’s film, as Sinéad Moynihan and others have shown, had outsize influence on the Irish imaginary. Assisted by ubiquitous screenings on St. Patrick’s Day, it continued to dominate international (especially American) conceptions of Ireland and was readily internalized and exploited for the purposes of the Irish tourism industry. The announcement that John Crowley’s 2015 film adaptation of Colm Tóibín’s 2009 award-winning novel of Irish diasporic experience, Brooklyn, was to be filmed, in part, in Tóibín’s home town of Enniscorthy, County Wexford, provoked local excitement on a par with that in Cong, County Mayo, during the 1951 filming of Ford’s adaptation of Irish author Maurice Walsh’s short story “The Quiet Man.” “Film fever has gripped

Though favorably compared to the work of Bernard Shaw and George Moore when first published in 1906, Hyacinth by George A. Birmingham, like all of that prolific writer’s fiction, has since been eclipsed by the literature of these and other writers from the period. Consequently, the novel has received very little scholarly attention, despite its noteworthy presentation of and apparent attempt to influence the ecclesial dynamics obtaining in Edwardian Ireland. Hyacinth is primarily concerned with the careful symbolic sequencing of a number of episodes from Irish ecclesiastical history, which in their ordered entirety within the text depict, over the course of half a century, the gradual disengagement, diminution, and political isolation of the Church of Ireland during the time frame of the novel. Beginning in the 1850s during the latter phase of the Second Reformation—a movement which historically evinced an aggressive crusading capacity within Anglicanism as that campaign was effectively an act
