I’m Irish and I can assure everyone that if this is true it’s only because they got lost trying to find the Guinness brewery.

” a 1521 Spanish report provides inklings of evidence that there were, in fact, Irish people settled in America prior to Columbus’ journey.”

Now that’s something to drink to!

Well, it’s documented that Leif Ericson established a Norse colony on the Canadian coast. It would not be out of the question that he would have told some Irish of the colony, maybe had some come with him, and perhaps some colonists stayed behind and moved south as the Medieval Warm Period ended.

Count the number of wars that the Spanish and Americans have been in since the days of Columbus to estimate how many times history has been rewritten for those countries.

Yeah, when Saint Patrick expelled the Snakes from Ireland, they ended up settling along the Potomac.

Eveybody knows that.

Where else would all of the beer cans on the beach have come from when Columbus landed?

I believe it was discovered by the Vikings. In New England, we have places that the Vikings crested. Newport Tower for one.
