Best Answer

It is unknown when or even if the Basque people discovered Ireland.

Specifically, the Celts of Ireland and the Basque of southwestern France and northwestern Spain exhibit genetic similarities regarding the Y-chromosome. The Celts may have originated in Eurasia, where the ancient Tokharian language is most related to Celtic languages and where the Tarim River Basin mummies preserve Celt-like fairness of skin and lightness of hair. The Basques also may have originated in Eurasia, where some scholars link their language -- unlike any other in the world -- to languages such as Georgian in the Caucasus.

It is known that the Celts ultimately settled in Ireland. It also is known that Ireland previously was settled by other peoples. But it thus far is unknown who the original discoverers of the Emerald Isle were.
