*pretty much a ”pure celtic breed” anyway
Hahahaha “theres not much genetic difference between avarage irish and northern spaniards” Ronan Keating and Dolores O’Riordan are nonexistent phenotypes on Northern Spaniards.
Only the dark haired and dark eyed Irish/Brits look Northern Spaniards, only his child Charlie looks totally white/Northern Spaniard and the second son Ramon is partly slightly Amerindian in some pics looks Mexican/Hispanic.
Martin take only the Irish side his features are non Spaniard.
He has stated to be “extremely proud” to be Galician. His father was from Parderrubias, Salceda de Caselas, Galicia, Spain.
