I watched The Simpsons religiously growing up and I never realised Mayor Quimby is supposed to be an Irish immigrant. Where is that established? He doesn't have an Irish accent.

He's basically a caricature of a Kennedy.

He has typically Irish middle names and has a Boston accent, so it's implied.
