I can actually answer that quite easily:
The brutish aspects of celtic society were glossed over.
Those in the celtic revival were all to concerned with the British accusation that the Irish were brutish, uncivilised, and therefor completely incapable of governing themselves.
They believed such depictions would harm their nationalist cause, as they would only serve to affirm these accusations.
As such, they focused on the softer, abstract and poetic elements.
