Created
[1] in May 2013 by an IP, abandoned since June 2013.
The list of sub-pages at
Special:PrefixIndex/Portal:Gaelic games is not too sparse: 7 biogs, 4 matches, 2 teams and one venue. But only a few of the pages have been edited since June 2013, and those have all been trivial edits such as disambiguation. The rest is just outdated:
Portal:Gaelic games/Did you know still displays them same 6 items as in 2013
[2]. Per
WP:DYK, "The DYK section showcases new or expanded articles that are selected through an informal review process. It is not a general trivia section" ... but this 6-year-old list loses the newness, so its only effect is as a trivia section, contrary to
WP:TRIVIA.
In theory, this a broad topic. But in practice, it has not met the
WP:POG requirement that portals should be about "broad subject areas, which are likely to attract large numbers of interested readers and portal maintainers". But it has had no maintainers since the IP moved on in June 2013, and it gets few viewers. In Jan–Feb 2019 it got only
6 pageviews per day, which is less half than the abysmal
median of 13 per day for all portals, and ony 6%% of the
103 daily views of the head article..
The content of the sub-pages is all out-of-date, and the selection of topics is way out-of-date. There is nothing here worth keeping.
Maybe someone will find a way to make such a better portal, and a team of editors to maintain it ... so I propose that this portal and its sub-pages be deleted per
WP:TNT, without prejudice to recreating a curated portal in accordance with whatever criteria the community may have agreed at that time.

Delete - I concur with the analysis by BHG. This portal has a strange history in that it was created as a draft by an IP editor and moved to portal space from AFC. A future editor who is interested in Wikipedia coverage of the
Gaelic games would do better to work on the head article, which is only at 103 pageviews. Therefore my recommendation is Just Delete It. If the head article is improved and then another editor wants to create a portal, they know where
Deletion Review is.
