We have to go back to the Ice Age to find an explanation for this. In that time, there were only two big habitable areas in Europe: one in the Balkans, and another one in the Gulf of Biscay. In this region - due to a massive layer of ice - the Atlantic archipielago was linked to the continent and people went north escaping from the ice. When ice began to melt and plants and animals came back to the south of Europe, people returned; but some people remained since the sea level rose around 100m and Ireland and Great Britain were left separated from the continent.
