I can't say about other Celtic languages, but Welsh, I would say, is getting stronger. Since the 80s the Welsh Language is being learned at schools. Don't forget that at one time English law prevented Welsh being spoken at schools and if you spoke Welsh you had to wear a small wooden plank and the one got to wear it last of the school day got beaten by a cane. Some jobs are advertised in Welsh to increase the Welsh-speaking work force.
