Máire Gáire is correct on De Bhaldraithe's entries. It also shows a colloquialism of "You little jade!" to be a chaillichín or a ghiobstaire bhig

although I admit to being confused as to what "jade" (of woman) cailleach and "jade" (of horse) staigín are.....

jaded is shown as: (of horse) Caite, traochta; (of person) tnáite, traochta, caite

And lastly, ''jaded palate'' is blas maolaithe

In English, "jade" in reference to a woman or a horse is not a compliment. It means, basically, "worn out" (more commonly seen in the adjective "jaded").
