I'm gonna respond here with a few ways to get more Irish people involved... even if that's not what you were asking about. ;-)

A few things: There are not that many of us who are extremely active on En Wikipedia.
Good places to reach out for more people on enwiki: * WikiProject Ireland[1] and its discussion page[2] * the Irish noticeboard[3] * Active Irish users[4]
Some of the most basic articles there lie in tatters; this morning from 0:00 to 10:20 GMT, there were only around a two or three dozen edits on Vicipéid. (I know I haven't included Commons etc, but they are likely to be less populated.)
About gawiki, I think you guys already reached out to them on their village pump[5], but a reminder and note about the meetup wouldn't hurt. It might also be good to also poke the admins[6] and maybe some of the active users[7].
To find some active Gaelic speakers (and probably Irish people) on Commons, you could try looking by babel information[8].
