"Turns out the real Irish are the Black Irish: Dark featured, but still rather pale skin and rather short."

Okay, I'll buy that. Can you tell me where the real Irish come from then? Does Fomorian ring a bell?

My Mother is Black Irish, Ulster, looks Italian or Spanish, with out the nose, but with the temper. My Grandmother thought she was a throw back. All of my Irish relatives are dark haired or Blonds, with blue eyes and have that Raw Boned Northern Irish look.
