'No Irish Need Apply' featured on RTE and Global Irish Civic Forum

No Irish Need Apply: The Economic History of the Irish in England recently featured on RTE news and in a speech by Irish President Catherine Connelly.

RTE's piece featured interviews with Professor Neil Cummins and curator Christopher Kissane, and focused on how the exhibition's use of data and story-telling revealed both the darker side of Irish migration to England, and the cultural contribution of Irish immigrants.

President Connelly's speech at the Global Irish Civic Forum mentioned how the exhibition had highlighted the large numbers of young women migrants, as well as the importance of remittances back to family in Ireland.
