Gaelic is an English word referring to the three Celtic languages of Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man.
In their respective languages they are called Gaeilge, GÃ idhlig and Gaelg. In Ireland the language is called simply 'Irish' in English and 'Gaelic' is thought to mean Scottish Gaelic.
Despite this some overseas continue to refer to Irish as 'Gaelic' confusing the issue. Perhaps the best compromise is the call them 'Irish Gaelic', 'Scottish Gaelic' and 'Manx Gaelic'.
They are different dialects of the Gaelic language group; as their names indicate Irish Gaelic is the dialect most often spoken in Ireland, and Scots Gaelic is spoken in Scotland.
In most respects they are quite similar though some words, spelling, and pronunciation are different.
ANOTHER VIEW:
They are different enough to be classified as separate languages.
Answer:
There are variations of Gaelic in different countries, Irish Gaelic being one. Each are often referred to as Gaelic in their individual countries, so at times "Gaelic" could be referring to the Irish variation of it.
Another Answer:
The languages (Irish Gaelic, Scottish Gaelic) have different phonology, vocabulary etc. and are classified as two separate languages.
In Ireland, the native language is referred to as "Irish" rather than Gaelic,
(although they realize that foreigners are likely to call it that).
In Scotland, their variety is called simply 'Gaelic'.
I personally would suggest using Irish and Scottish Gaelic in questions to differentiate.
