Best Answer

Little is known about the people who first inhabited Ireland during the stone age about 9000 years ago. It is believed that the first people came from the north of Spain, by boat. We known nothing about their language or what they called themselves, and little about their culture except from what we have found in archaelogical excavations. There is genetic evidence of people in Ireland that can be traced back to the region in northern Spain, proving the link.

The first settlers in Ireland came over from England in 8000 B. C. E. They were Mesolithic hunter-gatherers. Because of the environmental changes that occurred after the end of the last ice age, as well as the bog and alluvial deposits in Ireland, many of the details of the Irish Mesolithic people has been lost, but the modern day Irish people are their descendants.

While people often think it was the Celts, there is now evidence to say that the first people to come to Ireland actually came by boat from northern Spain. But actually, the first people came to Ireland from Morocco in 9000 BC.

People have emigrated from just about every part of Ireland, so Irish settlers could be from anywhere in Ireland. Ireland is not a very large country.
