They always were bog Irish, underneath the veneer of respectability.
I'm named after an uncle who died about 6 months before I was born.He's buried in Holyhood Cemetery in Brookline,Massachusetts..and his headstone is about 20 feet from the Kennedy's big memorial,featuring close to a dozen names (can't recall the exactly number).
Their plot is gaudy and quite disgusting IMO."Bog Irish" I guess you could say.
But at least my uncle was there first!
