Irish is not spoken everywhere because in the 1800 many English moved over to conquer Ireland and so the language died out in most parts. Mary Queen of Scots had a lot to do with it too

OR...

it could be the fact that northern Ireland is an English speaking country and you can still find people in Dublin speaking Irish and road signs in southern Ireland are mostly in English but you can find lots in Irish too!
