But you wouldn't really know. I mean, nobody can really know, but you haven't even checked, have you?

and yeah i'm not denying that you can use a chariot there. but to be honest, you'd be hoping your enemies attack on the ODD sunny day with dry firm ground. even when its sunny the ground is either muggy or soft. its not even the best place for cavalry, which is why we were never known for a mounted warrior culture... except when foolish christian monks made things up.
(which they did all the bloody time, you gotta sift through alot of bull when it comes to that stuff. specifically attire and the fact that there aparently were mounds of gold there... You can probably find that the first case of the infamous leprechaun came from some monk talking about alot of gold owned by some midget gael.)
Okay.

The best instance of christian monks making things up about ireland is saying that "St. Patrick removed the blight of snakes from Ireland when they converted to Catholicism" pfffft as if snakes ever existed on ireland. We hardly can!
But, again, you wouldn't really know because you haven't done any research. So here we are again: Stop postulating for a while. Even if you were right about any of these issues, it may as well be a guess.
