Irish is less widely spoken.
But there are areas on the West coast where it is the daily language of the community.
About 1/3 of the population claim to be able to speak it, but some only speak it rarely. |

A small, or not so small point, depending on your perspective:
The language is most accurately called "Irish." Gaelic is a class of languages, of which, Irish happens to be one.
Typically, Gaelic is taken to mean the language spoken in Scotland.
Le meas,
