Sounds like they are several years behind the times to me.

When will they catch up? We have a number of men of Basque ancestry in the
R-P312 and Subclades Project. Not a single one of them is L21+, and L21
seems to be the predominant marker in Ireland.

Thus far we don't have even a single person who can trace his ancestry to
Iberia who has been found to be L21+. I anticipate there will be some
eventually, but it doesn't seem likely that L21 will be common there.

On the other hand, L21 is showing up fairly well in France, Germany and
Scandinavia.
