James Michael Curley - four times mayor of Boston, twice elected to the House of Representatives, one term as Governor of Massachusetts, and two terms in jail, was the son of County Galway parents who emigrated as children to the US in the 1860s.

(The one president who shunned anything to do with Curley, was president John F Kennedy. But more about that in a moment).
