Best Answer

Probably not that many in immigrant numbers, Icelanders are very welcoming towards foreigners though and pretty much every single Icelander speaks English at a good level.

Studies have shown that a majority of Iceland's women are actually descendants of Irish (Celtic) people kidnapped by vikings and brought to Iceland. So you could say that a good portion of Icelanders are actually Irish.
