No. Ireland has two official languages which are Irish and English. Things like signs for the street names and places are in both languages. Many placenames in English come from the Irish version of the names. English is more widely spoken, but people learn Irish in school and many words that are Irish are used in regular speech in English. For example, the head of the Irish government is known as the Taoiseach and that is the word that is used all of the time. The position is equivalent to a prime minister in other countries, but it is not a direct translation of it. Many organisations use Irish language names. The national broadcaster is RTÉ, which stands for Raidio Teilifís Éireann, which literally means the radio and television of Ireland. There are many, many other examples. In addition to Irish and English, there are people living in Ireland from all over the world, and they speak their own languages.
