∙ 12y agoIt is Ireland's national language, even though it is not the most commonly spoken. It is part of Ireland's heritage, culture and history. Many organisations and places take their names directly from Irish or have been anglicised. Dublin comes from Dubh Linn, meaning black pool.
By learning one language, it makes it easier to learn other ones. It is best for Irish people to learn languages from their own country, before learning others. Many jobs require Irish and having it gives you an advantage for many jobs.
Outside of Ireland, very few people speak Irish, while many understand English. So when Irish people go abroad and what to have a private conversation, it is good to know a language that people around you won't understand. It also can enable someone to warn someone about something, like a pick pocket approaching, without anyone else knowing what you are doing.
So for all of these and many, many other reasons, it is very good to learn Irish.
