Deborah,

Not Philadelphia limited but have you checked this book out:

Dobson, David. Irish Emigrants in North America [1670-1830], Part
Six. Baltimore, MD, USA: Genealogical Publishing Co., 2003.

Abstract:

Emigration from Ireland to the Americas can be said to have started
in earnest during the early 18th century. In 1718 the first
successful emigration from Ireland to New England occurred, which
laid the foundation for the large-scale settlement of colonial
America by the "Scots-Irish." The work at hand is the sixth
installment (and the third volume) in a series compiled by David
Dobson that documents the departure of thousands of individuals who
vacated Ireland for the promise of the New World between roughly 1670
and vacated Ireland for the promise of the New World between roughly
1670 and 1830. As many as half of the immigrants referred to here
disembarked at Canadian ports in Ontario, while most of the rest
entered North America through New York, New Jersey, Maryland,
Virgina, and North Carolina.

Part Six is based mainly on archival sources in Canada, England,
Ireland, Scotland, and the United States, together with contemporary
newspapers and journals, a few published records, and some gravestone
inscriptions from both sides of the Atlantic. In the majority of
cases, Mr. Dobson's transcriptions provide some or all of the
following particulars: name of passenger, date of birth, name of
ship, occupation in Ireland, reason for emigration, sometimes place
of origin in Ireland, place of disembarkation in the New World, date
of arrival, number of persons in the household, and the source of the
information.
