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!
But we DON'T WANT THE IRISH!

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.

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

Don't tell that to Olson Johnson.

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

The Vikings were ‘in’ Ireland, too. The Dublin-area was a Viking kingdom, IIRC. I’m sure that the information of lands further west was common knowledge in Ireland around the year 1,000 A.D.

Why? Did they find a bunch of Indians asking for more firewater?

I not sure Ireland had ships that could cross the Atlantic. Weren’t they Druids?

Bad news for the Irish jokes. This year they finished outside the heaviest drinking nations top ten.
