By land the most ancient times and by a combination of overland and water routes in less ancient times are the ways that the Basque people got from northern Spain to Ireland.
Specifically, the Basque and the Irish are genetically linked through the maternal H and paternal r1b lines. They have a common ancestor who may have spoken ancient Basque or an ancient Basque's linguistic ancestor. The ancestor of today's Basque and Irish peoples traveled from what we know as northern and western Spain to what is now the Emerald Isle no later than 8,000 to 17,000 years ago.

∙ 10y agoMammals are what the Basque brought from northern Spain to Ireland.
Specifically, research indicates that the badgers, mountain hairs, pygmy shrews and pine martins of Ireland trace back to the fauna of northern Spain. It is suggested that people speaking very ancient Basque (or its ancestor) sailed from northern and northwestern Spain to Ireland. The migration may have taken place as recently as 8,000-17,000 years ago. It was accompanied by the stocking of boats with what - equipment, fauna, flora - was familiar to the Basque in their lands in modern-day France and Spain. It was followed quite some time later by peoples who had been neighbors of the Basques in Iberia (and possibly ancient Eurasia before that): the Celts.

In history since that time, people from Spain have come to Ireland to live there. There are strong cultural connections between Ireland and Spain as a result.

What happened to the people of the Basque Country after the war with Spain?
Control, harassment and repression in terms of the civil war and autonomy in terms of the regional conflict are what happened to the Basque people after the war with Spain.Specifically, there are two recent wars which pit the Basque Country against Spain and vice versa in the twentieth century. The first war is the (not at all politely conducted) Civil War of 1936-1939, which ended in the linguistic, politico-economic and social control of Spain's four Basque-speaking provinces by the Nationalist government established by General Francisco Franco y Bahamonde (1892-1975). The second is the Spain-ETA conflict of 1959-2011, which undoubtedly contributed to Basque autonomy within the Kingdom of Spain after the General's death and Juan Carlos I's (born 1938) involvement in the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy.

ETA wants to create an independent Marxist state in what Basque nationalism calls "Euskal Herria", that is the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country, Navarre and the French Basque Country. On the other hand, there are no "loyalist paramilitary" forces in Spain's Basque Country. ETA is the sole terrorist organization operating in the region and, hence, there's no "conflict" in the Northern Irish sense. ETA uses not-really-adequate Northern Ireland conflict rhetoric to justify their actions.
