Abstract

"Noraid and the Northern Irish Troubles, 1970–94" by Robert Collins is a comprehensive account of the activities of Noraid, Irish Northern Aid (I.N.A.), and other related organizations during the Northern Ireland Troubles. Collins explores the personal viewpoints and loyalties within this network of organizations, highlighting prominent figures like Michael Flannery and Martin Galvin. The book covers events such as internment, Bloody Sunday, the hunger strikes, and the peace process, emphasizing how Noraid relied on events in Northern Ireland for its momentum. While the book is source-led and provides valuable insights, it does raise questions about Noraid's involvement in supplying weapons and financial reporting. Overall, it is a useful and reliable reference for scholars interested in Irish America. [Extracted from the article]
