do most Irish people speak English?

Answer 1

Most Irish people outside of Gaeltacht regions speak English on a daily basis. Gaeltachts are regions in Ireland in the following counties; Cork, Kerry, Waterford, Galway, Mayo, Donegal and Meath where the Irish language is the vernacular spoken at home. The current population of the Gaeltacht regions is approximately 85,000. You can see a map showing these areas at the first site below.

The 2006 "Census figures found that 53,471 people speak Irish on a daily basis outside of the education system while 97,089 speak the first language on a weekly basis, and 581,574 speak the language less often. Of those who have an ability to speak Irish, 412,846 never speak it."
