Faulty Premises

Is this article about Irish noir based on faulty premises? 'Cause they talk about American noir as if it was a 1920s phenomenon, when I always thought noir really only came into its own as a genre in the late 1930s and 1940s, when the parallels they're trying to draw between the Ireland of today and the America of yesteryear don't quite stack up. But I'm hardly an expert, so I may be wrong.
