Irish People

[Grace O'Malley]

ok, but I still believe it would be better to have pics of adults, you know people can change a lot in physical appareance with age

There are plenty of adults on this thread as well. These ones of the Gaeltacht must be in their mid to late teens. They attend Gaeltacht schools they aren't prepubescent children. Gosh you're a picky one.

Aryan well found (in its Dinaric-influenced Keltic form sometimes), but local CM is much more present. Blond hair is present in both types (more frequent in Aryan types, though), but red hair exists only in latter. Other elements barely exist. Overall a VERY HOMOGENOUS people.

When Aryan is dominant, eyes are always blue. When local CM is dominant, eyes range from green to gray to brown (blue is rare).

A few look "dark" like this:


^ But one finds in England a hundred times more such people (incl. dubious ones such as David Backham's wife). This one looks British and to a lesser extent French... So probably a Keltic inheritance. Interesting that these kind of dark types very frequenty have blue eyes and skin as light as everyone.

That would have been a terrifying experience. I can't imagine what it was like to live in that situation. Very scary.

If they weren't fighting they were praying. (No offence meant there either).

My family are stornch Catholics, the pope said they could wear condoms, as long as they cut a hole in them first, My cousine had 16 children, the Doctor told her if she fell pregnant again it would proberly kill her, her husband still insisted on his marital rights each night, they in the end gave her an opperation to stop her from falling again....

The Irish in the past did everything the Catholic Church said. There was a lot of sexual repression which wasn't a good thing. It wasn't all bad though as they were very decent and community minded. I'm not religious myself.
