As I said on your talk page, I'm still dubious. Let me note that this article also provides an alternative, and apparently more widely-accepted, argument about Celtic invasion. Norman Davies, in ''The Isles'', also presents the idea of Celtic invasion as the standard narrative. Let me add that the "the peoples of Ireland never reffered to themselves as Celts" bit is completely misleading, in that ''no'' Celtic peoples ever called themselves Celts - it's a Greek term. To my understanding, they did call themselves ''Gaels'', or something along those lines. [[User:John Kenney|john]] [[User_talk:John Kenney|k]] 8 July 2005 19:01 (UTC)
