Spanish people of Irish descent

Irish Spaniards are people who were born in Spain, of Irish descent, or those of Hispano-American birth with Irish ancestry. More specifically, it refers to members of the Irish families established in Spain since the Flight of the Earls in the early 17th century (1607) e.g. O' Neills and O'Donnells or since the Flight of the Wild Geese in the late 17th century.
