Yes. Many Irish people still speak Irish every day. It is a compulsory subject in Irish schools and required for some jobs. --- They did, but after the famine they were forced to speak english.

Thanks to those events, Ireland isn't really the same with Irish anymore.

Do you need to have Irish to be a teacher in Ireland?

No. For primary and secondary school teaching, Irish is a mandatory subject. Primary school teachers are expected to have Irish. Exceptions can be made for teachers who are not Irish and so would not have learnt Irish in school themselves. So it is possible for teachers from other countries to work in Ireland as a primary school teacher without Irish. If the teachers are Irish themselves, then they are expected to have Irish in order to teach in a primary school. For secondary schools, different teachers would have specialist subjects, so not every teacher would be teaching Irish. So they would not need to have Irish. For other levels of education, it is not an issue at all.
