English is one of the two official languages or Ireland, the other being Irish. English is the most widely spoken. So yes, just about everyone in Ireland does speak English. However, they speak lots of other languages too. Also there are people in Ireland who come from other countries and would not speak English. If you travel to Ireland, you will have no problem finding people who speak English. There are parts of Ireland where Irish is the main language spoken, but these are small areas and people there will speak English to visitors too. Each of these areas is known as a Gaeltacht. The majority of them are along parts of the west coast of Ireland, like in parts of Donegal, Galway and Kerry.

Yes, it has the Irish language, often referred to by people outside of Ireland as Gaelic. It is similar to the Gaelic spoken in Scotland. However, while Irish is Ireland's own language, the main language spoken in Ireland is English. Irish and English are both official languages of Ireland. The majority of people speak English as their day to day language and few people are fluent enough in Irish to speak it.
