Gencove accepts raw data from most companies, it's good to compare results:

Please only post results of people with grandparents born in the same region.

The Irish result is significantly more Scandinavian-like than the English one, but the English person has some South Italian-like ancestry the Irish does not.

I wouldn't place too much stock in Gencove results. The higher Scandinavian and Southern European in the Irish result looks like a compensation for the lack of Northern & Central European, which should be higher. It's also data from different companies.

The Irish score so much Scandinavian in Gencove because they are using Iceland as part of their Scandinavian references. And we know that Icelanders have a lot of Celtic ancestry. Now we have ancient DNA from Iceland, it confirms that some of the early settlers were Insular Celts (Gaels etc.):
