Not sure where you're from, but the way it seems to have fallen now is Irish Gaelic is called Irish and Gaelic (pronounced "gallic") is usually the Scottish variant.

Unless you know better, or of some reform, in which case I defer!

It does appear to be true that the government of Ireland prefers to call the language "Irish". https://www.ireland.ie/en/technology-fuelling-global-irish-l...

I'm from the United States.

(While we're here, we might also note that the term "Erse", referring to Scots Gaelic, is in fact the word "Irish".)
