Did you mean to say "Do you speak Irish"? Because Gaelic is usually what Scottish people refer to as (Scottish) Gaelic. We just call Irish (Gaelic) "Irish". To say "Do you speak Irish it is:
An labhraíonn tú Gaeilge
- English (UK)
- Irish
More naturally in Irish, the idiom 'An bhfuil Gaeilge agat?' meaning 'Do you have Irish?' would be used for this. Same for other things like swimming 'An bhfuil snámh agat?'

- English (UK)
- Irish
In this case I would say there is any difference at all - but it is akin to Franglais or Spanglish. One sounds more natural than the other.
