I cannot speak for Northern Ireland (one of the two countries on the Island of Ireland, the six counties of the Ulster Province which are part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland)…

 

…but where I live and am from, the Republic of Ireland (32 counties across four provinces, some of which are also in Ulster; Irish/British history can be complicated) it is taught in all schools and is an official state language appearing on legal and government documentation with the English language and is on all road signs. To the best of my knowledge it is similar enough to Scottish Gaelic and is a Gaelic as well Celtic language.

 

Other Celtic languages include Manx, Cornish and Welsh… and something else I might be forgetting, I’m not sure.
