There's an intriguing idea floating around about potential genetic ties between the Irish and Spanish populations. Historically speaking, during events like the Spanish Armada's encounters with Ireland, there were instances where Spanish sailors intermingled with local communities. Over time, such interactions could have introduced genetic elements from the Iberian Peninsula into the Irish gene pool. Considering broader genetic studies across Europe, there are shared genetic markers and patterns that suggest some level of interconnection between these regions. It's plausible that there's more genetic overlap than we might initially assume.
