Why don't Irish people tan?

Answer 1

Many Irish people do tan. It depends on their complexion. Fairer people are more likely to burn, but some Irish people are slightly darker and will tan. Some of the original Irish people came from northern Spain and their descendants are the Irish people that are slightly darker and will tan. Some Irish people are of fairer skin and could have roots back to Scandinavia through the Vikings and so have fairer skin, so they will burn easier than tan.

Answer 2
