Gaelic is a Q-celtic language, apparanted to Celtiberian, when the Brittonic languages (ancient and today modern welsh and breton, and cornish) and Gallic language were P-celtic.
Q-celtic is more archaic and 'Hallstattic'. Certainly the irish culture has partially celtic roots, but also much stuff not indo-european and is definatly not that much 'Latenian'.
Maybe it can be viewed like parts of the hellenistic world where greek culture merged with other cultures to developp an unique phenomenon?
