The Egyptians did trade with Ireland - it was a globalised economy under that civilization as well!
In the tenth century? Remember, 900 A.D.: monks and tribes and the like.
Consider me temporarily impervious to jokes if that was your intent.

Yeah in the tenth century but also long before that. Cornish tin was shipped all over during the Bronze Age and it was only a skip from Cornwall to Ireland.

It would seem that "trading" was much more "global" than most people thought, even in the 20th Century.
