Were the pre Christian Irish cannibals?

Nope, no evidence they were cannibals. There has been some curation of a few bones found in Britain from a slightly earlier period but this doesn't necessarily mean cannibalism; it could be defleshing of the dead before burial.

No you dumb Asians. Cannibals exist today in VERY brown places, such as paupau new guinne and Africa. Why do your people eat cats and dogs, try again troll.
