You mistake orthography and glyph choice with character identity.
"Dotless i" as a *character* is used only in Turkic languages, has
nothing to do with Irish, and never has.
May I pick a nit here? Dotless i is used in the official orthography of
at least one non-Turkic language, that of Udi, a north-east Caucasian
minority language of Azerbaijan; I think it is also in the Latin script
orthography of Lezgi, the language of a much larger minority group.
