Yet while the Irish on the east coast have long been harnessing their collective might to wield an influence in politics and business, it is only in the past decade that moves have really been made to rally the diaspora in Silicon Valley.
The organisation spearheading the drive to build stronger links between Ireland and Silicon Valley is the Irish Technology Leadership Group (ITLG), which was established by Limerickman John Hartnett and now has more than 10,000 Irish and Irish-American members. Hartnett has been living in Silicon Valley for 16 years, where he worked at Apple and Palm, before leaving to found the ITLG and the spin-off venture-capital firm, SVG.
