Just one preliminary point : The Irish of modern day have an estimate 30% Viking admixture (more in the east, less in the west). Besides paleo component on the male side (R1b that you find also in the Basques) in Irish population is strong (97% in Connacht).
To answer you more completely (an harsh question !!) I'll let my friend Milesian speak
