Might not go down well with what folks? Irish folks?

Let me give you a heads up people. It isn't the Irish who promulgated use of the word "Celtic". It is a term that is never used in Ireland by the Irish to describe themselves or their ancestors. Irish people are well aware of the Viking and Norman history of the island, as well as the Celtic. It is taught to every one of them in school.

So who, katlaughing, are you suggesting will this knowledge "not go down well with"? You say it will be true of "alot of folks"--just who will these hordes of folks be?
