Indigenous people lived there, I have no idea who they were, but they were clearly of Northern European stock!.

The Celts settled in Ireland at some point, and there are rumours they were fishermen from the Iberian peninsula (Spain and Portugal)!.

Numerous invasions have occured, from neighbouring regions such as Scandinavia!.

Then there was British Colonial rule, and independence!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, you could do an internet search, but that will give you just the highlights, unless of course that is all you want!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
