You don't need the Irish language. It is useful at times though. As it is not widely understood, it is a good way for Irish people to communicate when abroad and they don't want others to know what they are saying. Some jobs, like the civil service, broadcasting and teaching usually require Irish.
Hug translates to cuach in Irish!

Not normally. Irish citizens have free access to the UK.

Yes they do ! Just the same as British people need a Passport to travel outside the UK - so do Irish people !
That will depend on things like where you are from, where in the world you are going to meet your Irish boyfriend and how long you plan to be with him.
You need to specify Irish Gaelic or Scottish Gaelic: they are two separate languages.
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.
