Abstract: [Taken from author's summary on academia.edu] This joint chapter (with Zuleika Rodgers and Katrina Goldstone) examines and critiques the ways in which Irish Jews are most commonly portrayed in academic and popular culture, so as to conform to outside expectations and assumptions as opposed to the standards of contemporary, critical academic research or reflections on the representation of minorities.

This paper expands on my presentation 'Jews in the News', examining news items on Irish Jews during the years 2016-17. This was a particularly newsworthy period for Irish Jews on three counts: the publication of two new Irish Jewish-themed literary works; the Kevin Myers controversy; and the release of the census 2016 data analysis, which revealed an unexpected level of growth in the Irish Jewish population. My article investigates how each of these strands represents reflections on the past, present and future of the Irish Jewish community, and queries why Irish Jews should be such a steady source of fascination to commentators and journalists in Ireland and further afield.
