I was going to comment the same, did the person who made this think Ireland is an English speaking country? If so I would suggest they read “Translations” by Brian Friel.
I’m not sure if there are any Irish people that only speak Gaelic and not English, but kids do have compulsory Gaelic lessons in Ireland and almost anything is written in Gaelic, just above the English
If you come to England and attempt to speak to them in bad English, you don’t get “no reaction” you get them shouting at you in the mistaken belief that raising their voices makes it easier to understand.

I know about revitalization efforts for Irish Gaelic but doesn’t the majority speak English?
Yes. 99%. Not sure what other people in this thread are on about.

Good to know. Thanks!
The one for England is wrong anyway.
