Don't hold your breath on that one

I'd love to know who funded that research [it seems very political], couldn't the "diseases common in the Irish population such as cystic fibrosis, haemochromatosis and phenylketonuria" have been caused by inbreeding? [this is no dig at the Irish, as it happens everywhere], it always seems to me that there's people with agenda's in Ireland always trying to prove how "different" they are to the rest of us, peace will only come when people know how alike they are, not how different, and if it is true where are these "different" ancestors meant to have come from?
