‘Evil’ Irish lady steals $1 million from Archdiocese of New York

@ ciaradexy...You are obviously not only a racist but an atheist as well. MAY GOD FORGIVE YOU!!! That's right..I can use my GOD in my daily life because "I Believe". Don;t tell me to leave my GOD out of anything. Who do you think you are..you PIG!!!

WOW. I JUST SPENT TIME, I CANT GET BACK, READING THESE ENLIGHTENING POSTS ON.....BEING IRISH. TOM HAYDEN'S BOOK, "IRISH ON THE INSIDE" ENCAPSULATES A GREAT VIEW OF IRISHNESS. I KNOW,I KNOW, ALL YOU HATERS...HE'S A LIBERAL "FREAK" BUT ITS INTERESTING. AT A RECENT ST PATS. PARADE IN WILM. DE. I WAS TALKING TO AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN, (ITS OK), WHO SAID HE AND HIS FAMILY CAME EVERY YEAR BECAUSE THEY WERE IRISH TOO. I THINK THATS AWESOME!!! OR YOU COULD TAKE WELLINGTONS VIEW OF IRISHNESS (WHICH HE DENIED)BY QUIPING "BECAUSE A MAN IS BORN IN A BARN, THAT DOES NOT MAKE THE MAN A HORSE". IF ANYONE WANTS TO BE IRISH, I SAY GOD BLESS YE!! THE MORE THE MERRIER....HAVE A PARADE....IN HOBOKEN!!!

Pilib, I wouldnt class Adams and McGuinness as responsible. Try Richard Boyd Barrett and Joe Higgins if you want an accurate representation of whats happening.

I think using Evil Irish Lady has a nice ring to it. The idea is to catch attention with the headline so that people will read the story. Don't over think it. I wonder did she buy pink Prada shoes just like the Pope. Now thats money well spent. Fair play to her, she had a good run................... spelling might be off. a long day had.

im waiting for the song EVIL IRISH LADY, Van the Man could put a good blues tone to it. That would work for the Irish and the Americian Irish Americans. I wonder did she take the money because she wanted a taste.

How many of the posts here are about the theft at the Archdiocese (at least the money won't be used to protect child-rapists) and how many are off topic. I find that the so-called anti-American attitude in Ireland is the figment of a handful of anti-Americans. Ireland is one of the most pro-American/American-Irish countries in the world bar none. Every time I visit relatives and friends in Ireland (and northern England), I always amazed at how welcomed I am in Ireland as opposed to England or other countries. The Irish never want you to leave whether its their home, a pub, church etc. As for American understanding of Ireland we do quite well (thank you very much) in getting our information from responsible Irish (such as Gerry Adams, Martin McGuinness). As for pub talk, I find that it is quite difficult to be quiet when you are constantly being engaged in conversation. I think "big mouths" and "know it alls" are unwanted in any social setting.

If you cant give me an example, please dont make the accusation.

Can anyone please help this person out from the error of his ways?

Now youre starting to talk in riddles. Explain to me where my extremest convictions are please.

Ciaradexy Your statement reflects your extremisms.

Discrimination can be defined as-The unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, esp. on the grounds of race, age, or sex. I, in no way suggested that someone is treated differently because of their ethnic or cultural background so that argument is invalid. Also to say that 5 million are dying to leave Ireland is untrue. During the boom years any emigration was just Irish people doing the year in Australia and staying on. People had jobs here and so didnt want or have to leave. Now its out of necessity for most. I agree with you on the integration issue. If people dont make the effort, they should be deported.

Ciaradexy. Thank you for your enlighten. I agree about your Americans in Ireland. Be assured it is not only the Irish in Ireland who suffer from removed generations of United States citizens hanging on to their long lost roots. Remember in these times ancestral trip is a big money spinner and is relatively harmless hobby and it gives many people comfort to feel they have longitude not just Irish but most European countries. The first time Irish who go abroad are carbon copies of your stereotype descriptions of Irish Americans. The common saying among language you are unlikely to speak say is there are 5 million people in Ireland trying to get out and 40 million outside the country singing about it wishing to go back there. So it cuts both ways. If you want the US dollar you have to suffer paying for it. When you emigrate to your Irish ghettos, many people about you wish you would integrate or go home. It’s a fact. This is not the topic I made, I am discreetly pointing out the problem with Irish racism and your posting gave me example of discrimination.

Kid, just to clear something up, ''He'' is actually She and she was born in Holles St hospital in Ireland and will end up dying somewhere in Ireland too.

Im not attacking anyone Kid. Im merely stating how Americans of Irish decent are viewed in Ireland. I'll give you a couple of examples, I was in Castletownbere in November, sitting at a bar having my dinner. There was an American standing at the other end of the bar telling everyone how Irish he was and about how his ancestors left whenever. It was like a scene from The Field! He was being ignored for about an hour but I could see the eyes rolling from the irritation until finally an old man told him to keep his stories to himself because no one was bothered listening to the loud yank tell his tales of woe! I was in Kilmainham Gaol a few weeks ago and the tour guide had to tell the Americans who kept applauding to stop clapping and stop talking and trying to tell the other tourists all about what you have read!! Americans do not have a very good rep here when it comes to issues of heritage. I have a mate living here who is from NY and he has even said it to me! Americans with Irish heritage are not remotely similar to Irish people even though they seem to think that they are. I think Americans need to accept that and also accept that the Ireland their ancestors left is gone and we have moved on. The Irish dont live in the past so Americans shouldn't be disappointed when they see and realise that. Americans can be very patronising towards the Irish and Ireland and we find that very offensive.

joycean. This statement is typical negative attack genders type war), and further “you dont live in Ireland and all you know about my home is what you read on this site.” This last quote serve to highlight my point on racism “ciaradexy” indiscriminately attacks you, assuming you are not pure Irish as he wants us to believe he is.
