Allege that an originally pagan population kept some of its customs going after conversion to Christianity if you must, but it makes no sense to call that 'appropriation'. That's like saying that eight year old me stole seven year old me's bike.

But one thing that really annoys me with the Irish historiography and that is even the suggestion of some traditions or stories or w/e having some pre-Christian/non-Christian influence suddenly means we’re as bad as Eoin MacNeill

And that we’re saying early medieval Ireland is pagan with a Christian veneer. When in reality we can’t make hard lines like that regardless. Lots of reasons why stories and traditions hang on and continue.
