Ireland has been occupied by humans at least 10,000 years ago by people migrating from what is now northern Spain. The Celtic invasion theories are now being questioned in light of new DNA studies.
Previous answer:
The island was invaded by Celts c. 500 B.C. and converted to Christianity by Saint Patrick in the fifth century A.D. Ireland came under English control in the 17th century and was joined with Great Britain by the Act of Union in 1801. After the Easter Rebellion (1916) and a war of independence (1919-1921) the island was split into the independent Irish Free State (now Ireland) and Northern Ireland, which is still part of Great Britain.
