Folks interested in this subject may want to check out this link:

http://irishculture.about.com/library/weekly/aa052701a.htm  and
http://irishculture.about.com/cs/reenactment/index.htm

These have to do with Irish units on both sides during the Civil War.

On a related note, I once heard a writer state at a lecture that the Irish units
of the Confederacy were mostly raised with Protestant recruits, while those of
the Union were mostly Catholic.  Any ideas on the validity of this argument?
