Yes; not legally so but it would be in their best interests to do so when emigrating to a country that speaks a different language
The Irish government should require English speaking but Irish government should prioritise the language spoke in Ireland is Irish our native language and forgotten about it should mandatory for every Irish citizen to learn Irish in school before English but immigrants who want to live and become an Irish citizen must learn Irish
