I don’t see a date on this article, but a discussion came up on the origins of the phrase “Black Irish” discussed in [this article](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a930730.html) last night in a group of my friends.  
Looks like there might be more information here: [http://www.darkfiber.com/blackirish/](http://www.darkfiber.com/blackirish/) if anyone is interested.
