Best Answer

Early Immigrants who most likely came from Scotland. The Celts had the advantage of weapons and etc. for conquest over Ireland. Most of the people who came to Ireland before the Celts, from the Continent via Scotland, were Dene-Caucasians. This large language family was all over Europe before the Indo-Europeans arrived.
