Gaelic is an adjective that means "pertaining to the Gaels". As a noun, it may refer to the group of languages spoken by the Gaels, or to any one of the languages individually.
The Irish people (Irish: Muintir na hÉireann or Na hÉireannaigh) are a Celtic nation and ethnic group who originate from the island of Ireland and its associated islands. Ireland has been inhabited for about 9,000 years according to archaeological studies (see Prehistoric Ireland). For most of Ireland's recorded history, the Irish have been primarily a Gaelic people (see Gaelic Ireland). Anglo-Normans conquered parts of Ireland in the 12th century, while England's 16th/17th century (re)conquest and colonization of Ireland brought a large number of English and Lowland Scots to parts of the island, most notably Northern Ireland, where they form a separate and distinct ethnic group.
There have been many notable Irish people throughout history. The 6th-century Irish monk and missionary Columbanus is regarded as one of the "fathers of Europe", followed by Kilian of Würzburg and Vergilius of Salzburg. The scientist Robert Boyle is considered the "father of chemistry". Famous Irish explorers include Brendan the Navigator, Robert McClure, Ernest Shackleton and Tom Crean. By some accounts, the first European child born in North America had Irish descent on both sides; and an Irishman was the first European to set foot on American soil in Columbus' expedition of 1492.

Seeing if Irish people can actually understand or speak their native language. For everyone who says this sounds like Simlish: http://bit.ly/1DBmUBL More Irish Language videos: http://bit.ly/1DJcBvx Best of Clisare: http://bit.ly/1B242x6 I felt bad writing one of the translations, because it's literal (google) translation was different to how it would be understood in conversation so I wrote both. Before you ask, bhuail me LE MO chara is I MET my friend, she actually said Bhuail me mo chara so I HIT my friend. Easy mistake though in fairness. This was good craic but it wasn't to make a point. I know my Irish isn't perfect either, and some of the translations probably aren't spot on but blame Google for that because I double checked them all. It's all for a laugh. SUBSCRIBE for ...
