Ireland was colonized by England about 600 years ago, and was the first of England's many conquests. Conquered people often find it necessary to speak the language of their conquerors. England has managed to spread its language all over the world. Now it is spoken in so many countries by so many people that it is simply a convenient language to speak. The Irish could revert to speaking a previous, Gaelic language if they wanted to, but then there would be fewer people they could talk to.
