I was going to comment the same, did the person who made this think Ireland is an English speaking country? If so I would suggest they read "Translations" by Brian Friel.

I know about revitalization efforts for Irish Gaelic but doesn't the majority speak English?

I'm not sure if there are any Irish people that only speak Gaelic and not English, but kids do have compulsory Gaelic lessons in Ireland and almost anything is written in Gaelic, just above the English
