Yes. They'd be more into Hallstatt-style axes, shortswords, helmets, etc. Virtually no mail to speak of, instead wearing scale armor as their upmost type of armor, or a girdle of vertical metal strips. Longswords only used by the most wealthy. Mind, Goidils used, largely, a type of shortsword near identical to the gladius most of the time (effectively more of a big dagger than a sword) anyway, but there were also long, broad-bladed swords, and La Tene longswords appear eventually, and with them, we find some exceptionally long blades now and again with long tangs, implying two-handed weapons (which would make sense, Irish druids and some champions are described as having used swords used in both hands, though most of them probably weren't so long, but given the nature of such an item, it'd most likely be a custom piece for the user, not some cheap 'sword' churned out for poor folks). Doing them would be a kind of complex operation either way.
