Early 21st century genetic studies have provided new insights into the origins of Irish and British people. Correspondingly, researchers in the field have suggested that migrations from Prehistoric Iberia (Spain, Portugal and also the Basque region) can be viewed as the primary source for their genetic material, having demonstrated marked similarities with modern representatives of the aforementioned time period in that of the Basque people. However, the majority of Irish males fall under the R1b sub-clade L-21, which is quite rare for Basques

Many speculate it's from the Israelite Tribe of Dan migrating in part to Ireland in Ancient times as there was some link between Ireland and Israel.

The myth is they're descended from the Spanish Armada sailors after their defeat in 1588, who were considered "black" eg Moors

They are not Spanish,not Jew and not Moor. They were from the Northern lands and crossed an icebridge into Ireland and Scotland and later moved down to Wales, England and over to France.That is why they have R1B. They are called Paleo-Atlantid and are Cro-Magnids. Later the Tydal type would have come into these areas with the Vikings and Normans.

The Atlanto-Nordid or Northern Atlantid is a different type to the Paleo-Atlantid and has breed with Paleo-Atlantid, Brunn and Borreby types for years. You can read about that type here. http://www.theapricity.com/snpa/rg-north.htm
