I am not sure they can make that level of distinction between Irish verses Welch Celtic
verses Gaelic Scotland, another variant of the Celtic heritage, with DNA at this point.
Maybe a DNA expert on this list can answer this question.

Hi Martin.
Snap. My results from Amazon say I’m 66% Irish and no mention of Wales, yet I was born in
Wales and although my paternal forbears were Irish (and Scots), on the maternal side I’m
deeply Welsh. Is this discrimination? I certainly think it’s insulting to the Welsh
people.

I had the results of my Ancestry DNA test this morning.
Annoyingly they seem to class Welsh as Irish! I am half Welsh but
according to Ancestry I am 64% Irish.
I would have thought they could find a better description for what
probably also includes Gaelic Scotland. I can imagine someone getting
their results in the USA and wasting a lot of time looking for an Irish connection.
