If I recall correctly, a justification for Spain trying to take over England with its Armada was to restore it to Catholism. Let's say they don't. Instead, they decide to support their brother Catholics, the Irish, against the British. This isn't an Irish-wank. Ireland is still badly internally divided. However, when the British try full-scale colonization, they are able to resist more effectively, thanks to Spanish interventions or supplying.

Does this keep Ireland independent? Does it make it a Spanish protectorate?

How will this change English colonization policy? They learned to exclude or exterminate natives in Ireland.

How does this change history?
