What we call the Irish language

We call it “Irish Gaelic” for the sake of this international web site. It’s the Celtic language spoken in Ireland. Perhaps you call it “Gaelic”, but that term has ambiguities with the closely-related Scottish Gaelic language. Or, you might simply call it “Irish” if you are from Ireland. So, what do you call it?
