Nope. Apart from the foreigners who call themselves Dubliners, we're more like the Scots and the Welsh - relatively pure. Unlike the English. The English are mongrels.
Well, without wanting to take this thread too off-topic, I'm not sure how true this is. There's plenty of Scots in the North, Wexford is full of Norman/French surnames owing to the Norman incursions of 1169 and 1171. There's a fair amount of English blood from descendents of the Anglo-Irish, not to mention the recent influx of immigrants owing to the open borders of the European Union. And Dublin was founded by Vikings!
