I wasn't really trying to comment on the relationship between the French and the Irish. I knew that the Celts were in Europe and in Brittany but I don't know if it's the same people that the Romans referred to as Gauls. I was just trying to show that the similar sounding "Gallic" and "Gaelic" had different origins.

""Gallic" and "Gaelic" had different origins."

I'm guessing that the origins are the same, but are modern day Frenchmen really Celts?
