Irish Americans were some of the biggest supporters of the IRA (both of the Real and Provisional varieties) during The Troubles. IIRC the majority of their funding came from Americans of Irish heritage.
On the other hand, when the IRA's public support waned, their funding dried up too, which was a major reason why they disbanded.
