Scholars at Memorial University of Newfoundland concluded that Newfoundland Irish became extinct during the 20th century.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or status:
“If the current is right, one can drift to success.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“A genuine Left doesn’t consider anyone’s suffering irrelevant or titillating; nor does it function as a microcosm of capitalist economy, with men competing for power and status at the top, and women doing all the work at the bottom.... Goodbye to all that.”
—Robin Morgan (b. 1941)
