I agree that Irish/Gaelic has loan words from earlier languages and that Q Celtic is more archaic than P Celtic. This could just mean that there was a resistance to new forms of Celtic coming from central Europe and that they were never fully "La Tene"... but that does not make them any less Celtic than those in Gaul.
In the UK those in the North East still use a lot of Norse words in their language but culturaly they are Bristish not Scandinavian:?
I am curretly on the trail of the Brigantes as they are noted as the only Tribe with lands in both England and Ireland. There are also mentions of Brigantii in the Austrian Alps and also in Spain. If these are linked that would be very intersting
