A group of Celtic peoples inhabiting Ireland and parts of the UK. The Gaels were originally the Celtic group who inhabited Ireland. They later spread to Britain, particularly Scotland and the Isle of Man. These are the three places where Gaelic languages are spoken. Anyone from Ireland, Scotland or the Isle of Man might be described as a Gael. In modern Ireland, 'Gael' is sometimes also used to describe someone who plays one of Ireland's most popular sports, the national sports of Gaelic football and hurling.
