I don’t know all the things but I know this: don’t use Celtic as an ethnonym for early med Irish, it’s nonsense. Satirists were...sort of respected but they weren’t like all powerful king destroyers. They were respected in a disrespectful way, if that makes any sense.

As far as interracial or class marriages, I mean, that’s true enough but women from outside of the tuath (the home territory, it’s a difficult term) generally were of lower status and their sons were often too. Not always but often.

There was social mobility of a sort but we don’t have marriage records so we can’t exactly see how it happened. The law tracts are difficult and contradictory and their enforcement is seen often as being impossible b/c many seem absurd to us now.
