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.
But it still shows the correct clan tartans right!?

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.
Sounds like he’s 102% American with a 2% margin of error
temple bar suddenly losing a lot of customers in tourist season
How accurate are those tests anyway?
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.
Oh my god, I’m Irish and I just checked and I’ve lost 11% of my Irishness 😂
