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.
