Protocol for Irish-language names

What's the protocol on Wikipedia for English-language articles about people whose primary language is Irish? This article uses the subject's Irish-language name (Niall Ó Glacáin), instead of the anglicised name (Niall O'Glacain) which seems to be more commonly used.

For the time being, I've maintained consistency by using the Irish-language names for the Dunleavy and O'Donnell families when they are mentioned. SkywalkerEccleston (talk) 05:27, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have used the most common versions of names used in English-language sources, per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English). E.g., Donlevy and O'Donnell. For this reason, I think there is a good argument to change the title of this whole page from Niall Ó Glacáin to Nial O'Glacan.
