Tip O’Neill: Irish American Representative Man Thomas P. “Tip” O’Neill, Man of the House as he aptly called himself in his 1987 memoir, stood as the quintessential Irish American representative man for half of the twentieth century.

O’Neill’s impressive presence both embodied the clichés of the Irish American character and transcended its stereotypes by articulating a noble vision of inspired duty, determined responsibility, and joy in living. There was more to Tip O’Neill than met the eye, as several presidents learned.

Editors Note Padraig O’Malley n 1943, at the age of fifteen, he forged his birth certificate so that he could join the Navy. “When the war came,” Joe recalls, “I was in the third year of high Ischool, pretty big for my age, and was running with an older crowd.

And he encouraged me because he had stowed away at the same age on a Coast Guard vessel. He was very patriotic and just felt that I was big enough to handle the job.” It’s all said matter-of-factly. Duty called; duty responded to. It was the right thing to do so he did it, with no caveats and no regrets, serving with the Seabees in the South Pacific for three years.
