Um, maybe it's just a local thing here, but Erse *is* Scot's Gaelic.
Irish, on the other hand, it Irish Gaelic.

Irish is caught in an odd sort of feedback loop. It's forced on you in
national school and you hate it. Later on when you've left school and
college, you start to regret not learning the language back when you
had a chance. It's then that the language gets hoisted on the next
generation and the cycle repeats...

TG4 is an improvement in things though.
