Actually there is no evidence that Freud ever said this of the Irish, it is yet another urban (or in this case Hollywood) myth. The quote was used in the movie 'The Departed' but has no basis that can be attributed to Freud.
The merkins strike again, always trying to rewrite history or at least Hollywood does and does a severely crap job of it lately. The sad thing is that so many believe shite like U-571, if they saw it in a film it must be true....
