We're all using the Irish tongue now, silly. Irish is really just English!

It would really depend on where you go to school.
The Northern Ireland Council for Examinations and Assessments (CEA) offer Gaelic as an O-Level course. Not all schools offer this course as teachers of Gaelic (Gaelige) are thin on the ground.
With the rise of integrated schools, however, Gaelic is likely to receive some backing as a subject.
If you live elsewhere in the British Isles, why would you need to learn it?

Because irish is spoken by few people. You will actually get lost in europe or anywhere in the world if apart from your tongue you know only Irish. SO you better learn spanish, Italian or even German.

Good question. My living in Wales might have had something to do with that I think. Probably the same reason I still don't have a single word of Latvian! Welsh on the other hand...... Nos da.
