Black Irish
In the 21st Century, the term Black Irish refers to Black people in Ireland – people of African or other Black heritage living in Ireland, raised in Ireland, or whose families now hail from Ireland. "Black Irish" is an officially recognised term used by the Irish government every 5 years during the census.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the term "Black Irish" referred to Black Irish (folklore), an Irish-American myth that suggested Irish people with black hair and dark features were descended from Spanish sailors.
