<Would this mean that similar Halpotype to the Gaelic M222 Halpotype
could be possible be found amongst the Walloons of Beligum, Piccardans
of France and even amongst descendants the local Welsh (Britons) found
in southeast England at the time of the Norman invasion?

I don't know what it could mean. Historians refer to the Belgic
confederacy of northern Gaul and most seem to doubt they were a single
tribe. There could have been lots of different DNA in tribes called
Belgae. I'd like to get a look at this guy's book though to see how well
he develops the argument. It's being published in paperback if that
tells us anything.
