Irish-English, also known as Hiberno-English was brought to Ireland after the Norman invasion in 1169. At this time Ireland had one king ruling over many clans and was an entirely Gaelic-speaking kingdom.
Following the invasion and subsequent occupation, English became prevalent, especially in the Dublin region known as The Pale which continued to speak English thereafter.
