    Default Re: The Irish are Not Celts

    When we consider that Gaelic is a Celtic language, isn’t saying that the Irish are not Celts like saying the French are not Latin? I mean they are and they aren’t. We have ample historical evidence regarding the Roman conquest of Gaul and the subsequent invasions, if genetic testing were to be done on the French, would it be able to tell us the complex story that we know from history? I doubt it, and we just don’t have much of a record to go on when it comes to prehistoric Ireland, so there is very little evidence against which the results of genetic testing can be framed.
