wouldn’t it be more proper to call it Gaelic? There is no “Irish” language. Irish Gaels maybe?

It is usually called “Irish” these days outside of Ireland.

I know there are a number of dialects in irish, but doing a quick google (not my knowledge)there seem to be three distinct “gaelics” - Irish gaelic, Scottish gaelic and “manx’, unique to the Isle of Man, extinct but a revival effort is occuring. The Irish branch is typically just referred to as “Irish”
