In a place like LA, whites seem to just be clumped into one big group. Not really "Irish" or "German" just white. So, honestly, I don't know about an Irish presence because its not common to use heritage here when you are white.

As in Scots-Irish? I should think so, since we're the ones who built this country.

JFK changed the immigration rules and as a result, immigration from Ireland really slowed downed during the 1960's. As a result there really isn't an Irish neighborhood in LA with lots of first generation Irish immigrants. But about 10 to 15 percent of the white people in the country claim Irish heritage.

College students in Ireland have a tradition of working overseas during the summer. You will find them working in bars and restaurants especially in places near the beach.

No and the ones who I met have long since left for home.
