Yes, there was prejudice against the Irish. It wasn't unusual to see Help Wanted signs with the statement No Irish Need Apply. Sad but true.

Answer 4

Well, it's a fact that many Brits don't like the Irish, particularly the English. I think they were treated quite all-right; sure they had a rough time at the beginning but that's how it was for everybody who was an immigrant and I'd dare say for everybody in general.
