Think they are also the parents of:
| The Limerick pogrom: From 1902 to 1904, Fr. John Creagh of the Redemptorist Order in Limerick led Ireland's only pogrom against the Jews. In his sermons he made the usual claims about "Jewish ritual murder" - which he claimed was rampant in Ireland: "they would kidnap and slay Christian children". He instructed his congregation "not to deal with the Jews". The founder of Sinn Fein, Arthur Griffith, strongly supported Fr. Creagh in his newspaper the United Irishman. (While Michael Davitt, founder of the Land League, strongly opposed the bigotry.) The ensuing boycott against Jews and sporadic violence against them drove most of the small community out of Limerick. Limerick has been ashamed of it almost ever since. |
