Jewish population of Ireland is massive - probably 80-90%. Jews from Diaspora all migrated to France,Ireland and England. Most of the surnames of Ireland are Hebrew. There is a book that explains Ireland is the Jewish homeland.--65.26.30.35 (talk) 20:50, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
I will delete the sentence: In the same year the obsolete statute "De Judaismo," which prescribed a special dress for Jews, was also formally repealed. This was an English Law, afaik, it never had legal force in Ireland. (unless someone knows otherwise)--ClemMcGann 16:21, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
Since I take it that at least some of the current editors of the page are living in Ireland, is there any chance one of you could post a copyright-free (perhaps your own) picture that would go with this article? A picture of one of the synagogues would be fine, otherwise Little Jerusalem or anything else that would be illustrative would be nice, and serve to break up the text. --[[User:G oodoldpolonius2|Goodoldpolonius2]] 14:22, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

According to Irish Jewish author and editor David Marcuus (among other things, he recently published his autobiography, Oughtobiography) Oliver Cromwell seriously considered attempting to colonize Ireland with Jews. Also be neat to see that in the article. Babajobu 09:04, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
Is David Marcus any relation to Louis Marcus, the guy who made bilingual documentaries like The Irish Condition, back in 1994? That was a great series. If I recall JJ Lee and Gearóid Ó Tuathaigh were two of the chief historians involved in it. I am almost certain that it was in the programme that I first heard about 500,000 Conradh na Gaeilge members mounting a protest in Dublin against the Catholic Church's interference in the Conradh na Gaeilge branch in Waterford. I've never heard anything about that since. If he is a relative, then Louis Marcus should be in this list as well. El Gringo 01:46, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
You know, it's too bad that there's no way to put something like this in an encyclopedia, but an orthodox Irish Jew told me the most hysterical story. He was visiting his sister in Manchester, and while he was there he naturally went to synagogue. The person sitting/standing next to him during prayers heard his accent, and called him a "mick" and told him to "go back to Ireland"!! Maybe that sounds unpleasant, but the way he told it was hysterical, and the image of orthodox Jews from Ireland and England getting in nationalist shouting matches has always tickled me.
His explanation for why it happened, though, was that when the Celtic Tiger economy took off, a lot of newly well-off Irish Jews bought property in the Jewish areas of Manchester, and so some of the English Jews got pissy about. Babajobu 16:24, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
The text reads The Jewish population of Ireland reached around 5,500 in the late 1940's, but has since declined to around 1,800, mainly through emigration to larger Jewish communities such as those in England and Israel. The Israel part is accurate. But why is England mentioned? Is there evidence for this? While some have moved to London, others came to Ireland from the UK. Quite a few went to the U.S. --ClemMcGann 10:54, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
Helps to know England is NOT the same as BRITAIN or The UK....IS true many, from BOTH Belfast, which IS in the UK, and Dublin, have moved to Manchester which has the second largest community in The UK and very much a growing one..... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.27.39.168 (talk) 21:04, 20 June 2013 (UTC) Jewish people in Northern Ireland have traditionally been VERY strong UNIONISTS since the partition of Ireland.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.27.39.168 (talk) 21:07, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
Last weekend I finally had a chance to seek out the little known Jewish graveyard in Castletroy, Limerick. I've uploaded one image for the History of Limerick article. I'm not sure which of my others would be appropriate to upload to wikipedia, but if anyone wants to take a look and upload one or two, I've made my 'photobox.co.uk' album public here. (All are public domain, of course) Seabhcán 22:37, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
I took some photos and uploaded two of them: Image:TerenureSynagogue.JPG & Image:TerenureSynagogue2.JPG. The second one is probably the better one to use for a small pic. Unfortunately, there's quite tight security on that particular synagogue (IIRC they suffered some anti-Semitic grafitti and vandalism a year or two ago), so I wasn't allowed to take photos from inside the gate.

Does anyone know what happened to native Jews in Ireland during the time of the famine? Did they manage to get out, or did many of them starve too? XYaAsehShalomX 17:58, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
the were not anti jew, the were anti Ira. yes there were some nutters as members but for fuck sake (a very few) blueshirts went to spain and fought on both sides of the civil war there...not exactly the actions of a group which had fully made their minds up about something now c'mon...the only thing that the were most definatly was anti ira and for the protection of coman na gael from them. - comment by 86.42.163.178 12 November 2006
This piece is laughable and clearly written by a Fianna Fail supporter. The Blueshirts were not anti-semitic and the incident related bout Golderg under this section doesn't even involve the Blueshirts! Pathetic!
I know few came here during the emergency, but it had to be more than 30. An interesting list of those naturalised (thanks to Oliver Flanagan) [1] have a look at this list. btw 33 Bloomfield Ave was Hertog's address ClemMcGann 01:27, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
I don't think this section belongs in this article - it has nothing to do with the history of the Jews in Ireland. Should be placed somewhere else. Comments? Hohenloh 00:25, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
Why on earth is there a picture of Matthew Broderick in this article? He's American; Irish Catholic on his father's side and Jewish on his mother's. Don't see how that remotely fits in to "History of Jews in Ireland." 174.1.159.105 (talk) 05:17, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
simarly there is no evidence mario rosenstock has any jewish ancestery his garandfather was a german or daniel day lewis for that matter
Ireland was *officially* neutral, not 'nominally'. They'd just gotten over having 14k people die in WWI, the War of Independence, and the Civil War.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_neutrality
I'm not sure how, after 800+ years of British oppression in their own country, at times rivalling anything the Nazis did {e.g. during Cromwell's rape of the countryside} the Irish were obligated to accept immigrants from anywhere. To my knowledge, one may only immigrate to Israel if one is Jewish... presupposed excuses aside, why was Ireland not entitled to favour fellow Catholics?
For that matter why are a relative few alleged instances cobbled together to make a large "hey the Irish are anti-Semites" section.
This seems like a really slanted and slanderous overview, and it is presented in an absolute vacuum as to the relevant Irish history, and seems to not be "neutral" but to promote an agenda.
This seems like cloaked propaganda to me. I find it offensive and bizarre.
Lastly, the section on the Jewish role in financing Strongbow's invasion {cf. the 'court jew' entry on wiki} could and should be expanded as part of this entry.
Josce of Gloucester, was the Jewish financier who funded Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke's conquest of Ireland in the 11th century.
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/judaica/ejud_0002_0007_0_07418.html
Indeed, given the role and history of Jews as bankers in the era, I would expect that Jewish connections with Ireland began with funding its conquest by the Normans.
I suspect trying to build this entry would lead to deletions and objections and all manner of cries of 'antisemitism' by intellectual hypocrites and cravens who will hide history over here, but on the other hand, balloon a few sparse examples to cobble together a narrative about always-innocent Jews being somehow victimized by the poor, long suffering people who had nothing to do with Jews or Israel, and who were building Newgrange while the proto-Hebrews were slaughtering whole tribes in Canaan.

This article says that Jews are and were treated well in Ireland. This is not really the case. De Valera refused the admission of Jewish refugees to Ireland after WW2,the Roman Catholic Church was promoting antisemitism as many priests told parishioners that it was a "sin" to talk to Jews as they "killed our Lord". Also in modern days the economic recession has caused a hardened attitude towards foreigners and Jews. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ww2manin (talk • contribs) 11:56, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
In terms of consensus on this change in terminology, Ireland's most eminent historian, Diarmaid Ferriter may be added to the list of those who agree with Keogh that the term Boycott is more accurate (inc. the Israeli ambassador to Ireland). In a published review of Keogh's work Ferriter states that the decision to not use the word Pogrom is a wise one based on the evidence available.[1] Please see the Limerick Boycott page for more updated information that explains this change.

This page needs a section on that failed Far right nationalist movement in Ireland who were known for their Anti-Semitic views. R.M. Douglas wrote a book 'Architects of the Resurrection' that details the history of this group. Huxley10 (talk) 15:25, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

I'm removing the quote about W.T. Cosgrave's rejection of Trotsky's asylum application. Other than the fact it merely mentions Trotsky's religion at birth, it doesn't really say anything about the Irish governments attitude towards Jews in Ireland. Also am removing the fact that the Blueshirts were suppressed. While they were suppressed they weren't a particularly anti-Semitic organization. Eoin O'Duffy had spoken out against a motion adopting anti-semisweet at the Montreux Fascism conference in 1934.

The Irish press is antisemitic. A thing I put in was reverted with the excuse that vicious antisemitism is only "slight criticism of Israel" which it is not. Ericl (talk) 15:07, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
As I have stated on the Talk:Antisemitism in the United States and Talk:Antisemitism in Russia pages, I am not sure listing individual incidents is a good idea since wikipedia is not a newspaper WP:NOTNP and I don't think we want these articles to be a list of anecdotes or for us to have to do original research to determine which anecdotes are representative and meaningful. Perhaps this discussion should be elevated to some other place since it seems to span multiple articles. -Dan Eisenberg (talk) 21:30, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
English, later turned German, racialist writer Houston Stewart Chamberlain is recorded, as an early example of his anti-Semitism, to have written in 1881 that landlords in Ireland whose interests were affected by the Land Bill going through parliament at Westminster at the time (a measure he elsewhere wrote of with political approval) were "blood-sucking Jews". When I came across this in his Wikipedia biography I added a sic to that as the landowning classes were generally gentile Anglo-Irish families. Were any Jewish families owning land in the Irish counties at the time?Cloptonson (talk) 22:48, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Expulsion of Jews 1290 - no sources material moved to new section --016zeitgeist (talk) 17:05, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
All this 1290 material is unrecorded in any available historical account, in any medieval annals, in any medieval or later accounts. If true it is a very important story and the contributor must provide sources and citations. What are the Norman documents referred to? Where are the Baltinglass Abbey records that record these events? Where are any Irish annals that mention any of this, regarding both the O'Donovans and Danish communities in Wexford and Dublin? With not a single source this is baseless speculation. I would hope this fascinating story - if true - can be sourced. Where does it come from?
If the material cannot be sourced or verified in any way - if no documentation exists - it has no place in this historical account. The material should be left for a while to allow for the contributor to respond, but if nothing happens, it should be removed. Under these circumstances, it is not merely inaccurate, it would appear to be false, with no provenance at all.
Perhaps others would let me know if this seems appropriate. I would hope, meanwhile, for some evidence. --016zeitgeist (talk) 17:03, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
With due respect to previous editors, this article seemed woefully incomplete. Inter alia, nowhere on it did one see anything of the viciously antisemitic writing or sermons of such defining Irish figures as Arthur Griffith and John McQuaid, nor of the persistent antisemitic remarks of several contemporary Irish politicians. It is also very odd that absolutely no mention should be made of the most famous character in Irish literary history, Leopold Bloom (I will add this shortly). I have therefore felt it necessary to make very significant changes, which I understand other editors may wish to discuss. I would be delighted to do so here, and warmly invite all who have concerns to discuss them.Publius In The 21st Century (talk) 21:11, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
Ireland is known to be the most ardently pro-Palestine country in Europe following the events of October 7 - it would be interesting and relevant to add the effect of this, if any on the Jewish community there. 130.225.249.170 (talk) 16:10, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
