Jo,
Irish objectors to that non-standard and unconstitutional langtag are
being told it was chosen by and/or given the IETF stamp of approval by
an IETF-appointed langtag reviewer, which (unless that claim is bogus)
makes its chain of responsibility go back directly to IETF/IANA.

===============================================================
Here, with spelling amended, is the full text of the objection:

"OS X 10.2.4 System Preferences currently reads 'Ireland (English) and
Ireland (Gaelic)', an expression which is unusual, non-standard and
unconstitutional.

OS X 10.2.4 System Preferences should read 'Ireland (English) and Ireland
(Irish)'.

'Irish' being the standard English name for our language, and the only such
allowed by the Irish Constitution, I ask that an error of that magnitude
(same as using 'Scandinavian' for 'Swedish' or 'Norwegian' national/legal
language names) be rectified as a matter of priority."
