Interview with Zlata Filipovic in Dublin, Ireland.
Researcher for Blood of the Irish ( DVD released)
2 hour documentary. RTE. Crossing the Line Films.
Winner of Irish Film and Television Awards.

Random notes on Todays Broadcast Interview
Zlata
Today we talkZ with Zlata, who was researcher for the 2 hour
series on the origins of the Irish and how Irish DNA played
a determining factor.
Bosnia to Ireland.
Zlata was originally from Bosnia, but has relocated to Ireland
for 15 years. She has studied genetics and social anthropology.
We talk about about different places in the world and how it
compares to Ireland. She notes a similar feeling from the
people of Bosnia and Ireland, despite superficial differences.
‘Y’ DNA Markers
We also discuss genetic markers which make DNA so useful
to us. They relied a bit upon the research already done at
Trinity College Dublin, and studies done in Northwest Ireland.
O’Neill connection
She spoke of the genetic signature which has had a great
influence on the Irish in the north, from ‘Neil of the 9 Hostages’
around the 5th century AD. We also note the R1b marker and
M222 of more recent discovery. The connection to the Basque
people is remarkable.

The Basque People.
Those who survived the Ice Age in the Basque area of Spain
and France, are those closest related to the Irish. The
connection dates back some 8,000 years. We also note the
DNA found in Irish caves dating back thousands of years.
That includes bear DNA and human DNA.
It is notable that the Viking connections are fewer than earlier
thought, as we have noted in earlier episodes of this podcast.

The Black Irish and the Spanish Armada
The Spanish Armada has generally been exaggerated over time,
as far as being the origin of the ‘Black Irish’ in the west of Ireland.
They actually date back thousands of years earlier than the
armada.

Clare Bones
In a cave in Clare, an ancient childs bones were found and DNA
extracted and matched to living children in Clare.

An Irish Mystery
8,000 years back is as far as we can go back for known human
settlements in Ireland - but it is some 700,000 years for England !
That remains a mystery.
