Most people in Ireland would speak English as their first language (like me), but there are regions called the Gaeltacht that would speak Irish all the time. There are Irish-speaking schools too but for the rest of us, we would start learning our own language at the age of about six.

Cad a dheanfaimid feasta gan adhmad?
Ta deireadh na gcoillte ar lar;
nil tracht ar Cill Chais na ar a teaghlach
is ni bainfear a cling go brath.
An ait ud a gconaiodh an deighbhean
fuair gradam is neidhir thar mhnaibh
bhiodh iarlai ag tarraingt tar toinn ann
is an t-aifreann binn a ra.
Translation:
Now what will we do for timber,
with the last of the woods laid low?
There's no talk of Cill Chair or its household
And its bell will be struck no more.
That dwelling where lived the good lady
most honoured and joyous of women
Earls made their way over wave there
and the sweet Mass once was said.

That's a poem that was written in the 17th century, it's one of my favourites in Irish. I don't know why, to me there's just a certain beauty about the words.
