Norman?! Not likely. The Normans were Scandinavians who settled Northern
France, hence Northman (Norman). They invaded England in 1066 and began to
spread their rule among the Saxons in England, moving on Ireland about 1069.
Saxon is from Saxony, a part of Europe - Germany and Bohemia in the Czech
Republic.
The Irish were around long before this, way before the common era. They were
the Celts. The peoples of England and Ireland were from Europe proper and
began settling about 7500 BCE.
