From the Paper:

"Ireland has been formally identified with Celts since the ?th century though Celts influenced Irish history before then. Julius Caesar's commentaries divide Gaul, not the British Isles into three ethnic regions, by no means culturally or linguistically identical; Celtae, Aquitani and Belgae Rankin, placing them on the Continent. Early Irish mythic sources, partly taking their cue from classical descriptions of the Celts as Scoti, identified themselves with Scythians who flourished in ancient Asia Minor."
