Gerry's father Jimmy, the first McIlroy to grace the fairways of Holywood golf club, was one of the first Catholics to work in the Harlaand and Wolf shipyard.

One of the first Catholics to work in the Haarland and Wolf shipyard? What age is he, 100?

Well considering that it opened in 1861 he'd be some age if he were the first FFS. What knobs make this stuff up??

Hate this tribal shite on here

It may have taken 40/50 years for the first catholic to walk through the doors...

His parents Gerry and Rosie are both Catholics. Gerry's father Jimmy, the first McIlroy to grace the fairways of Holywood golf club, was one of the first Catholics to work in the Harlaand and Wolf shipyard.

Where was this written - "Harlaand and Wolf" - neither name correct? If this is from a proper newspaper that is pretty shoddy.

It's from a Yank newspaper. Typical ignorant, ill-informed rubbish typical of the plastic Paddies over there. Considering there were over 7,000 Catholics put of out the shipyards during the pogroms in 1920, his grandfather who most likely wasn't even  born then, wasn't even close to being the first.
