I was wondering if anyone knew who were the first people to settle Ireland and where did they originally come from?

I have been doing research on the Hines clan. They have roots in Sweden because ther were many nomads who came from Sweden to the British Isles. There was overpopulation in Sweden and they wanted to migrate. The lion symbol actually was a Swede symbol in the crests. They also have World DNA program that litst the Hines as a match for Stockholm Viking descendents. If you want any further addresses or notes, I can share them with you. If you do a study on Vikings, you will see that there are arecheological sites all over the British Isles to validate the Norse nomads who settled there. The Celts were there as well, so I am not sure where they were from originally.
