How many people speak English in Ireland?

Answer 1

In Ireland, 98% of the population speaks English. Both English and Irish are official languages, but although Irish is the first official language, only 1% of the population can speak Irish fluently.
Almost everyone speaks English as a primary language, those that don't can still understand English.

Answer 2

Most Irish people speak a little bit of Irish, as it is a compulsory language in schools, although very few people outside the Gaeltacht areas speak it fluently. There are many Irish words that are used in everyday conversation in Ireland, such as Taoiseach, which is the official name of an Irish head of government. Many organisations are named in Irish and many placenames are in or come from Irish. So in many ways, people use Irish more often than they think.
