I mean, maybe I'm wrong. The ancients hauled the bluestones all the way from Wales to Stonehenge. But hauling enough dirt to farm in on ships from the Mediterranean to Ireland is kinda a different beast. And given what we know about different waves of people from archaeology ...I just kind think it's more likely it was about the people who brought western-style agriculture. Also, "when they first showed up they had bags of dirt" seems less likely to be the reason for the whole name of a people than "they're constantly working in the dirt as like, their lifestyle," imo. LOL
