Hi there
Here is my thing about it (to anwser the question it would be YES and NO)
(1) if you look at Old Irish writting is its a dead ringer for (dirty Latin)
(2)Tacitus said in the Agricola that I have often heard Agricola say that Éire could be reduced and held by one Legion and some Auxiliaries
Why would Tacitus write this down was it a spoof :?: i dont think so because Vespasian had re-started the re-conquest of Britain and there was plenty of chance's to add personal glory to yourself by lets say invading Ireland (if you were Agricola)
(3) The irish at the time were taking slaves (lets go and shut these irish up :wink: )
(4)Chester was the biggest Roman fort in the Roman world Why would that be :?:
(5) St Patrick was a roman :wink:
(6)I cant of any more at this point but i will have some more very soon :wink:

"The Kaiser knows the Munsters,
by the Shamrock on their caps,
And the famous Bengal Tiger, ever ready for a scrap,
And all his big battalions, Prussian Guards and grenadiers,
Fear to face the flashing bayonets of the Munster Fusiliers."
Go Bua
