Sorry for opening a rabbit hole!
well, that's how it goes ....
While I find this interesting, I have no use for Gaelic, but let’s
pick the low hanging fruits.

I tried "mtxrun --script patterns …" on the patterns in my TeX live
installation, and it seems to work, but I can‘t find the generated
files, regardless of --destination.
I uncommented the line in mtx-patterns and made the files that we need
in context. I'll add that to the distribution, with the following
definition:
\installlanguage
[\s!ga]
[\c!define=\v!no,
% these ate from english
\c!spacing=\v!broad,
\c!leftsentence=\emdash,
\c!rightsentence=\emdash,
\c!leftsubsentence=\emdash,
\c!rightsubsentence=\emdash,
\c!leftquote=\upperleftsinglesixquote,
\c!rightquote=\upperrightsingleninequote,
\c!leftquotation=\upperleftdoublesixquote,
\c!rightquotation=\upperrightdoubleninequote,
\c!date={\v!month,\space,\v!day,{,\space},\v!year},
%
\s!patterns=\s!ga,
\s!lefthyphenmin=2,
\s!righthyphenmin=3]
\installlanguage [\s!gaelic] [\s!ga]
Maybe Wolfgang can make a typescript file as he already played with the
fonts.
Labels ... as said that's for Tomas to coordinate up with (once he has a
gaelic speaking student in his project). Or maybe Keith can jump in
there for some basics. Looking at those latex files imo is a waste of time.
It's not like we suddenly need this language support immediately; it
just has to be ready before Keith writes an article for the ctx journal
(your high hanging fruits).
I'm not very tall ;-)
