    that a - doesnt make sense - as gaelic is within goidelic
    and b - two different sub groups within celtic

    FYI Simon James is a controversial figure within his area of study. He has been called out on more than one occasion by Irish archaeologists for his outlandish and wrong headed pronouncements on archaeological finds re Iron Age Ireland [something he was never directly involved in]- so I would take anything coming from him with the proverbial grain of salt.
