  1. They seem to have got a better split of Scotland and Donegal/other bits of Ulster now; my spurious Scottish % has fallen to 5% from a high of 18% at one stage (its actually 0, its all Donegal being misplaced).

    Reverse is going to happen for people who had Scotland being misplaced as Donegal.

  2. Failte need to do a deal with these DNA lads to make sure every American’s results come back saying they’re at least 20% Irish.

  3. If you know the percentage Irish you are, then I can tell, with a 5% margin of accuracy, the percentage chance of me thinking you’re a fuckwit.
