It depends:) Even though Irish is compulsory in schools it doesn't mean most people are fluent. A lot of people never speak Irish again after they leave school. Some people have problems with the language, especially if it's an unfamiliar name or an uncommon one. I know an Irish guy who regularly mangles Irish names. Even though I studied Irish at Uni level I have to think about some names and words. Irish is a difficult language.
