== Comicbooks ==
* While ''[[Batman]]: [[The Long Halloween]]'' mostly involves the Italian Mafia, a quartet of Irish gangsters--employedgangsters—employed by Carmine Falcone--appearFalcone—appear in one chapter.
* [[Garth Ennis]]' run on [[The Punisher]] includes the "Kitchen Irish" arc, which deals with the last remnants of the Irish mob duking it out in the newly-gentrified Hell's Kitchen.
* ''[[Road to Perdition]]'' has its protagonist Michael O'Sullivan (who was renamed Michael Sullivan for the movie), and the Looney mob (renamed Rooney for the movie) led by John and Connor Looney.
Line 48:
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* In ''[[The Godfather]]'' the Corleone crime family is sometimes called 'the Irish Gang' because Vito's ''consigliere'' is the half-Irish half-German Tom Hagen. [[The Irish Mob]] proper is mentioned in passing as a group of 'mad dog Irish stick up artists' the Corleone's warred with during the Depression. They actually came within an inch of killing Vito, managing to shoot him (non-fatally obviously), which is better than Al Capone's gunmen managed.
