Tim Malloy was used as a generic term for a catholic Irish immigrant; in the same kind of way as Tommy Brown was used for english soldiers in WW1. Its general usage has declined, with the change in immigration demography and acceptability of stereotyping of the Irish. The remnant is the use of the word Tim, generally without any partiuclar loading, referring to catholics in general, often happily by catholics; as in "aye, he's a good Tim".

It's part of weegie rhyming slang. Back in the day Celtic supporters were called Timaloys (which is where the nickname Tims comes from), rhyme that with Bhoys and there you have it. At least, that's my recollection of the Bhoys origin.
