As Marilyn Reizbaum says in James Joyce's Judaic Other, Deasy's reference to "she [Ireland] never let them [the Jews] in" (U 2.442) should perhaps be read as a metaphor for Jewish exclusion from Irish society (itself a persecutory act) (38).  This was historically true: in 1871 the Jewish population in all of Ireland was 258, and in 1881, 453, mostly of English and German extraction.  But by the year 1901, the estimate was 3,771, most of them (2,200) residing in Dublin, and in 1904, the estimate was probably nearly 4,800.   The sudden influx at the turn of the century resulted from a wave of immigration, primarily from Russia, where Jewish persecution had become acute.  Until then Ireland had not let Jews in, and, with their coming in greater numbers, people began to take such attitudes toward Jews as were prevalent on the Continent, as Reizbaum notes(38).

  Gerald Davis, an Irish Jew, tells in Educational Jewish Aspects of James Joyce's "Ulysses": "I've always felt that there is something special about being Irish.  There is also something special about being Jewish.  To be both, at the same time, is rare" (Davis 2).
  Davis continues:

  ... But then, in strict terms, Bloom was not a Jew; his mother wasn't Jewish.  Neither, according to some of his fellow citizens, was he a proper Irishman.  For Irish Jews this marvelous ambivalence still exists.  When I am in Ireland I am a Jew; when outside, I am an Irishman.  I love that continuing conundrum of identity.  That Joyce should have set such a poser for society is part of his genius.  Indeed real genius should pose more questions than provide answers.  It is only through questioning that we might discover anything of ourselves. (Davis 2)
