Jean Manco was at the GGI 2015 conference a few days where Dan Bradley of Trinity College Dublin spoke. Dan Bradly has Neolithic, Bronze, and Iron age genomes from Ireland. All he said was there massive replacement in Ireland. We can confidently assume this replacement occurred in the Bronze age. There's a good chance Beaker-folk caused this replacement. I and many others have been proposing Ireland(and Britian) were repopulated in the Bronze age for 3+ years.
This is gratifying because many have said we're crazy, replacement is impossible, where's the evidence in archaeology, etc. The evidence is in DNA. Modern Irish are basically identical to Late Neolithic Central Europeans(who were R1b-P312 rich). The Neolithic inhabitants of Ireland were without a doubt "EEF+WHG". There's simply no room for significant pre-Bronze age ancestry in the British Isles.
The same thing has been proven to have happened in Scandinavia and East Europe. Ancient genomes suggest 70%+ Late Neolithic/Bronze age population replacement in Scandinavia in East Europe.
Although in Spain it was very differnt. We can see in a Spaniard from 1500 BC that she had Steppe ancestry but was overwhelmingly of Neolithic Spanish decent. It's hard to say as of now, but I'd guess modern Iberians are 50%+ of Neolithic Iberian decent. There is significant LN/BA Central European ancestry but not nearly as much as in the British Isles.
