So many Irish settlers followed Ned Ryan to the area that in the 1850s the Presbyterian Reverend John Dunmore Lang disapprovingly called the Galong and Boorowa districts a "paradise of the Ryans" and "a veritable slice of the County of Tipperary". The Irish settlers are particularly abused and disdained by the English, and resentments run high. Although poor in comparison with their co-residents, as least initially, these immigrants experienced nothing approaching the terribl e poverty and insecurity suffered by Irish settlers in the north-eastern United States at mid-century, nor the opprobrium heaped upon them by hostile native-born Protestants. |
