Where do the Irish come from?
Many people say different things, some say from Iberia (northern Spain) as Gaels believed they were descendants of Milesians, sons of Míl Espáine. Others believe that the Irish descend from a sunken island off the west coast of Ireland, called Tír na nÓg or goes by many names like Hy Brasil. I tend to believe the second one. Recent DNA studies tend to support the first one, however.

People in Ireland are descended from a whole range of peoples, not one single group. People talk about all Irish people being descended from the Celts. The Celts are but one of many origins that Irish people have. The Celts were not the first people to come to Ireland, as many people believe. It is believed some people from Spain arrived first. Ireland has had people come from many other places too, like the Vikings. There are people living in Ireland now from countries from all over the world. So there is no single answer to your question.
Did the Celts always live in Ireland?
The Celts lived all over Europe: but in the successive waves of invasions - the Romans, and after the fall of Rome a whole series of barbarians - they were driven further and further West, until the remained clinging to the edge of Europe in what is known as the Celtic fringe: Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, Brittany. The Celts lived in central Europe: northern France, part of Holland, Belgium, England, and parts of Switzerland. These lands had long been settled by the warlike Celts. Soon after 500 BC, the Celts wandered east and west in search of fertile farm land. Around 390 BC, the Celts even invaded Rome and sacked the city. It took two hundred years for the Romans to drive the Celts from Italy.
