Hebrew has a number of sacred books written in it. This us why it was preserved through centuries by faithful Jews, who read these books basically daily. It was and is a strong part of ethnic and religious identity.

A similar situation is with Quran and classical Arabic, even though it's not an everyday spoken language in (most of) Arabic world.

AFAICT Irish does not enjoy a similar status. If you want to hear a more or less alive Gaelic language in everyday use, visit rural Wales.

Welsh is not a "Gaelic language". It doesn’t even belong to the same branch of the Celtic language family as Irish, Manx and Scottish Gaelic.
