Some sources refer to Irish as 'Gaelic', but some speakers find that term objectionable in modern contexts.

Historically, the name 'Gaelic' refers to the Celtic languages spoken in Ireland and Highland Scotland. In fact, many words in Irish and Scottish Gaelic are identical, but spelled with differently angled accents. Irish is a Goedelic Celtic language spoken in several areas of Ireland and is closely related to Scottish Gaelic and Manx and more distantly related to Welsh, Breton and Cornish.
