lol "at a place called Bantry"
I'm from Cork and its a well known fact that soldiers from both sides were always coming in but if found they were allowed to cross the border or made to stay in "internment camps" lol they went to the pub every weekend with all the locals for god sake,they had a great time!

I've since found out that both German and British boats refuelled in a place called Bantry in west Cork. There was a standing agreement between the two navy's that they not attack each other either on entry or leaving the harbour mouth. They once even had a game of soccer on the beach. Locals would sell eggs and other food to the ships.

It's a long-standing lie from English bigots who sought an excuse to (re)invade Ireland and stamp out the independence of the Irish.
Fortunately they had to accept the fact that they had been handed their asses in 1921 and could expect more of the same in 1940.

To the contrary, most current theories regarding the origins of the Gaels have them migrating from Galicia to Ireland, and later to Mann and Scotland. There were Celts in Austria, certainly, but not Gaelic Celts.
Modern genetic studies have demonstrated the Iberian origin of most "Celtic" (Gaelic and Brythonic) populations in Ireland and Britain.

the gaels are not one group of celtic peoples/what came to be known as "THE GAELS" are a hodge podge of DIFFERENT tribes invading Eire and making it home,there are irish as blonde as marilyn monroe and as dark as antonio banderas

The Celt Iberians were the Spanish celts who settled on the Iberian peninsula. But the Celts who lived in Ireland migrated from an area very close or in Austria during the La Tene period.
So no, the Irish aren't descended from Spain, the Irish are descended from ancient Austria, and I mean ANCIENT Austria. Trust me on this, look it up and see for yourself. Also, the word Celt comes from a Greek work "keltoi" meaning "hidden people." It was the account of a Greek merchant.
she's not Irish, she's Spanish :)
