Is this correct?

Any corrections and/or alternate suggestions are welcome as always.
The grammar is correct but the meaning is:
Ní Gael mé, ach tá mo chroí agus m'anam ÉireannachI am not a Gael, but my heart and soul are Irish.
Gael (noun) and Gaelach (adjective) include all Gaelic speaking people, including the people of Scotland and the Isle of Man, not just Ireland.
gaelach with a lower case initial means "homely, pleasant; common, ordinary."
Éireannach (noun and adjective) refer to the culture and people of Éire.
I'd be inclined to align it one way or the other:
Ní Gael mé, ach tá mo chroí agus m'anam Gaelach. or
Ní Éireannach mé, ach tá mo chroí agus m'anam Éireannach.
