Took out the Sin City reference. The characters are supposed to be IRA terrorists turned mercenaries. That's not really an Irish gangster.
I don't think the Irishman qualifies. I have just read the book, and the only organized crime group it focuses on is the Italian-American Mafia. The eponymous "Irishman" is an associate of them, not an Irish-American gangster, and there are little to no other Irishmen in the book.
