The Irish (and Irish
Americans) in Cuba
Many
ethnicities contributed to Cuba’s culture and history. Among them were the Irish who came directly
or through Spain and the US. Cuba
reciprocated when Father Felix Varela was exiled to New York and became the advocate
of Ireland’s famine immigrants. The
father of Irish Independence leader and President Eamon de Valera was a Cuban
who was sent by his family to New York to escape the Spanish draft.
