Not where I used to live.
Theres parts where they pretend to speak it for the tax man / foreigners / tourists. Realistically, nobody speaks it day to day and barely 100,000 are even able to hold a conversation in it - out of 4,200,000 population.
I'm from one of the areas thats apparently speaks Irish ('gaeltacht'). It gets millions of quid a year out of that apparently, but the day to day language of conversation, business, etc is English.
