Old news, but Norse invasions in current day Ireland dating to the 9th or even the 8th century were supposedly preceded long before by earliest arriving Mesolithic tribes, then Neolithic agrarians, then Celts, and Christian missionaries. As with some references above to Sicilians, Sicilian Americans, Italians, Italian Americans, etc., being Irish may be rather different than simplistic, narrow views held by a few people of Irish nationality, purported ethnicity, etc.
