Primarily English. Gaelic is taught in schools (at least, it was when I lived in Limerick), but the primary language in Ireland is English. Gaelic is rarely used conversationally, and everyone who speaks Gaelic also speaks English.

In this order English, Polish, Chinese and Irish - Gaeilge (Gaelic is not used by Irish people as it is archaic.) Irish has declined massively in the past century and a half. It is becoming more resurgent and is more popular in rural areas particularly on the west coast and in an are in Meath near Dublin. These areas are called Gaeltacht.

10 miles, is it close enough ;-)
Everybody speaks English here.
Irish (gaelic) is still used in some part of the countries, there is TV channel and a radio. Gaelic is mandatory at school.
