Alice Currah has been the center of many controversies over the years. Her controversial writings and quotes have made her an icon, but do you really know who she is? Do you know her nationalities? Do you know where she was born?
Alice Currah was born in Ireland, as the first of four children of Richard Mulcahy and Mary Frances Mulcahy. She was the oldest of the children, and was said to be quite taken with the name “Alice”. In that capacity, she may have had some influence on the naming of her all-knowing father, but she liked the name “Curry” enough to give it to herself. But how did she get her nationality, and what nationality is she really from?
According to her own writings, Alice Currah was born in Ireland, at least that’s what she claims. However, others have disputed this claim, citing the birth dates of both her parents as evidence. The Irish government has also said that Alice was born in Ireland. But even if this were true, the name Alice Currah would not have been entirely inaccurate. Nationality and genealogy do indeed factor into this, but that’s not all that’s out there in the Alice Currah Files.
