Speaking to a joint
gathering of the Solo Flight
Singles of Temple Beth El
and the Irish American Cul-
tural Institute at Beth El,
Briscoe listed the parallels
between the Jewish and
Irish people's sufferings
from persecution.
"Both peoples suffered for
their faith. Both were de-
nied their rights in many
places." Briscoe said the
most obvious example of the
bigotry against Jews and
the Irish is that both groups
were forbidden to practice
their faiths in many parts of
the world.
The son of the first Jewish
member of the Irish Dail
(Parliament) and first
Jewish Lord Mayor of Dub-
lin, the late Robert Briscoe,
the younger Briscoe said ,
that out of a population of
three million in Ireland,
there is a Jewish commu-
nity of 2,000 persons. In the
Dail, which is comprised of
166 members, three are
Jewish.
Asked if Irish Jews were
the targets of anti-
Semitism, Briscoe said
there is "individual anti-
Semitism as is anywhere."
Responding to a question on
whether or not Jews are
persecuted against in Ire-
land, Briscoe said that to his
knowledge there is "no re-
cord of persecution of the
Jews" in his country.
In remarks following his
talk, Briscoe said that most
of the Irish Jews are consid-
ered Orthodox, about 15 —
percent Reform by Ameri-
can standards. Some still
speak Yiddish, but Briscoe
implied that it is slowly
dying among Irish Jews. He
added, though, that there is
• interest in Hebrew, and
there are heders in which
Hebrew is taught.
Briscoe, who was elected
to the Dail in his father's
constituency following his
father's retirement, said
Irish Jews are active in
causes for Israel and Soviet
Jewry. He added that he
was very involved in cham- `7-<
pioning the cause of Soviet
Jews.

He spoke anecdotally
about his late father, but
added "my father fought for
freedom in Ireland." Asked
about his ancestry, Briscoe 'T
said his family was de- 1
scended from Lithuanian
Jews.
On the topic of the war in
Ireland, Briscoe said "this
problem is the responsibil-
ity of Britain." The violence,
he added, "is a product of
years of injustice." What
about a solution? Briscoe
said a commission has been
appointed to draft a paper
offering a solution agree-
able to all sides to end the
hostilities.

Hinting at the economic
situation in Ireland, he es-
timated that country's un-
employment rate to be
about 16 percent. A move is
afoot, he said, to attract
high technology industries
to open plants there.
