No I'm fairly certain that it is not...Scottish Gaelic is related and I believe it may have its roots in celtic languages...

No, they are very different. However, as several people have mentioned, they are both Indo-European languages. I'm sure you know that you can trace languages like French, Spanish and Italian back to Latin. In the same way, you can trace all Indo-European languages back to Proto-Indo-European. So Irish Gaelic and Greek were once the same language; you just have to go thousands of years further back in time than Old I. G. and Old G.

No, they are two entirely different languages. They are both Indo-European languages, and so are in the same group, but Irish is in another family.

Although these languages may have something in common like Indo-European roots, they are completely independent from one another as far as individual languages go. There is no mutual influence whatsoever.
The basic ”grumping” of cave-men is not enough to relate later languages!!!
So, to answer your question: No, it is not true.
You are welcome
