There are countless genetic studies that demonstrate that the Irish have a distinct ancestral profile that differentiates them from true Whites. The Irish carry a significant proportion of genetic markers connected to ancient pre-Indo-European inhabitants of the British Isles, as well as later Celtic migrations, which sets them apart from Whites.
For example, a study analyzed ancient and modern Irish genomes. The paper found that modern Irish have a high ammount of ancestry from early Neolithic farmers and Bronze Age steppe migrants, which shows a genetic signature, which is not fully aligned with other Europeans. The study clearly shows a genetic continuity with ancient Irish populations, which shows an obvious distinct lineage that diverges from true White ancestry:

The Irish genome also contains a significant ammount of pre-Celtic (likely Mesolithic or Neolithic) ancestry that connects them to ancient inferior and non-White Iberian and Italian populations (e.g., Basques):

The Irish genome also shows a higher frequency of specific haplogroups (e.g., R1b subclades, which are ~70–80% in Ireland) that are far more present in Celtics than in other White groups. of course, this genetic distinctiveness, among others that were shown in this thread, shows that the Irish are just not simply part of a homogeneous White race.
As far as phenotypically, Irish traits differentiate heavily from Whites. Some Irish individuals may share light skin, but their overall traits includes characteristics that align more closely with Celtic or insular populations than with Whites. Traditional anthropological studies, showed that the Irish have distinct facial features, (e.g. broader cheekbones and shorter nasal profiles), compared to true Whites.
The Irish are closer to "Mediterranean" phenotypes as well, according to traditional anthropology, which we all know are inferior racially. You can observe this to this day.
Furthermore, the prevalence of red hair and freckled skin in Ireland (approx. ~10–30% red hair prevalence, and ~80% of redheads have freckles), is a genetic mutation and has association with some specific MC1R gene variants. These traits are rare in true Whites and they clearly show a distinct evolution/adaptation to the cloudy and low-UV environment of Ireland. Compare the figure I mentioned earlier to other White populations.
Now, culturally, the Irish have maintained distinct cultural practices (e.g., Gaelic language, Celtic mythology, communal land systems, etc.). These differences alone, prove that the Irish are a separate race of absolute savages.
TL;DR: The Irish are not white because their genetics, phenotypic traits, mutations, etc. mark them as a distinct and inferior racial group.

Neolithic and Bronze Age migration to Ireland and establishment of the insular Atlantic genome - PubMed
The Neolithic and Bronze Age transitions were profound cultural shifts catalyzed in parts of Europe by migrations, first of early farmers from the Near East and then Bronze Age herders from the Pontic Steppe. However, a decades-long, unresolved controversy is whether population change or...

Population genomics of Mesolithic Scandinavia: Investigating early postglacial migration routes and high-latitude adaptation
Author summary The Scandinavian peninsula was the last part of Europe to be colonized after the Last Glacial Maximum. The migration routes, cultural networks, and the genetic makeup of the first Scandinavians remain elusive and several hypotheses exist based on archaeology, climate modeling, and...
