Is the Irish language fading?

English and Irish are the two official languages of Ireland. English is the more widely spoken, but many people can speak Irish and many of those speak it fluently. Irish is a compulsory subject in all Irish schools. There are areas in Ireland, each known as a Gaeltacht, where the Irish language is the main language spoken. These are mostly along the west coast of Ireland. All around Ireland there are schools that use Irish as their main language for all lessons. The Irish language is used in many placenames, or is the origin of some of the English language placenames. Street names appear in both English and Irish on signs. Many organisations, particularly state agencies, use an Irish language name. There are Irish language radio and television stations and Irish language programmes also are broadcast on channels that mostly use English. Many people are actively working to promote the Irish language and many organisations are involved in this work. So while it is not the main language spoken in Ireland and is not as strong as it has been, it is still there and it is a very important part of Irish heritage and culture.
