The next two groups of invaders, the Firbolgs and the Tuatha De Danann, are said to have been descended from the Nemedians. The De Danann were powerful sorcerors. They possessed the Lia Fail, or Stone of Destiny, which roared when touched by the foot of the rightful king. The Tuatha De Danann overthrew the Fomorians and fought the Firbolgs for control of Ireland. Eventually the Firbolgs' King Eochaid, who is credited with establishing the first Irish laws, was killed in battle against the forces of the De Nananns' King Nuada. The defeated Firbolgs were left with only the province of Connaught. According to legend, the last De Danann rulers were three queens (Banbha, Eriu and Fodhla) and three kings (MacCecht, MacCuill, and MacGreine).

There's the Macs. Looks like Egyptian origin but predates Jeremiah's arrival.

During their reign Ireland was invaded by the Milesians, led by the wife and sons of King Milesius of Spain. Milesius's wife, Queen Scota, said to be the daughter of an Egyptian pharoah, was killed in the fighting, but the Milesians carried the day.

Scota is one of the daughters, yes, but a daughter of Zedekiah. Hmmm, they stopped off in Spain first she and married an Israelite king of a Danite colony, it may appear. Maybe Jeremiah never made it to Ireland, maybe he died in Spain.

The De Danann retreated underground, leaving the surface of Ireland to the Milesians. Today the Irish are sometimes called the Milesian race."

Brother against brother. The original Danite colony in Ireland overtaken by Isralite invaders of the Davidic kingline. I didn't know about a stopover in Spain. Interesting.

The De Danann retreated underground, leaving the surface of Ireland to the Milesians...

Leaving the surface? I about missed that.

See my post #114.

I had half-way thought that you would match the three queens with the three daughters and the stone of destiny with the stone of Scone. Might they be the same story? (Maybe the dates are in error?) The dates on the Irish History sites about their pre-history are all over the map.
