Ireland and the struggle against modernity A conversation with Burns Library Visiting Scholar in Irish Studies Fearghal McGarry Burns Library Visiting Scholar in Irish Studies Fearghal McGarry in the library s Irish Room. (Lee Pellegrini) Jimmy Gralton (1886-1945) might seem a quirky, and dubious, footnote in Irish history. A Leitrim native who twice emigrated to and returned from the United States, Gralton was an ardent Communist and combatant in the struggle for independence against Britain, and later turned a hall he built on his property into a hub of political activism and a venue for jazz, arousing the wrath of Catholic priests and local authorities who denounced him for being a Communist. In 1933, he became the only Irishman ever to be deported from Ireland.
