Например, президент Клинтон заявляет о своем ирландском происхождении, несмотря на то, что не существует никаких документов о том, что кто-либо из его предков был выходцем из Ирландии, в то время как Кеннеди убедительно документально подтвердил ирландское происхождение. Прадед Рональда Рейгана был ирландским католиком. Кеннеди и Джо Байден были воспитаны как практикующие католики.

Roosevelt praised "Irish Presbyterians" as "a bold and hardy race."[103] However, he is also the man who said: "But a hyphenated American is not an American at all.

Shunned by Henry II, he offered his services as a mercenary in the 12th-century invasion of Wexford in exchange for power and land. He would die from a festering ulcer in his foot, which his enemies said was the revenge of Irish saints whose shrines he had violated.
