During the Troubles, did the IRA ever solicit donations from descendants of Irish immigrants?

The plot of Stan Roger's song "House of Orange" seems to have this as the rejecting of this as a plot, so I was wondering how true it was.

Yes, the NORAID organisation did this. There is some contentionas to how effective it was, but at the time it was a diplomatic problem between the UK and USA.
