About This Magazine

Irish America magazine is the leading national glossy publication of Irish interest in North America.

Since its inception in October 1985, Irish America has become a powerful vehicle for expression on a range of political, economic, social and cultural themes that are of paramount importance to the Irish in the United States. It has helped re-establish the Irish ethnic identity in the U.S. (34.7 million according to the last U.S. census) and highlights the best political and business leaders, organizations, artists, writers and community figures among the Irish in America.

Now in print for 35 years, each bi-monthly issue of Irish America is a celebration of the growing resurgence of Irish heritage among Irish Americans here today, with an emphasis on the enormous achievements of distinguished and diverse Irish and Irish Americans such as superstar and humanitarian Bono, former president of Coca-Cola and chairman of Allen & Company Donald R. Keough, comedian Kathy Griffin, and silver screen legend Maureen O’Hara.

Today in History

February 25, 1852

Thomas Moore, the famous Irish poet who penned the lyrics to “The Minstrel Boy” and “The Last Rose of Summer,” died on this day in 1852. Born in Dublin in 1779, Moore showed an early interest in music. While studying law at Middle Temple in London, Moore gained recognition for ballads such as “The Meeting of the Waters.” His earliest works were published in “Moore’s Irish Melodies” in 1846 and 1852. Along with songs and poems, Moore also wrote plays and operas. After a rocky start, he forged a close friendship with Lord Byron. Moore is considered Ireland’s national bard, similar to the way Robert Burns is considered Scotland’s national bard.
