Most Irish don't even speak it, let alone fluently. Doesn't help that they're further fractured into multiple rather distinct dialects. Only like 2% use it daily. Flooding the country with 3rd worlders who sure as shit won't learn it doesn't exactly help either.
She probably would have to hire a translator to write her speech. Then hire another translator to translate it back to English in parliament.
40% claim they speak Irish. If you poke them about it further, 4% say they speak it very well, which lines up with another stat, 4% who say they speak Irish daily outside of the education system.
The percentage of fluent children and teenagers is higher because Gaelic-medium education is relatively popular (~10% of primary school students ), plus all those who are fluent because Irish is a second language taught in all other schools, but yeah probably fewer than 2% use it at home as their main language.
Expect the invaders to start complaining that speaking Irish in Ireland is racist.
Personally, I wouldn't even date someone who dosen't speak my native language. A shame the Irish largely gave-up theirs.

Gonna take this opportunity to plug a project that I think represents a positive effort to correct that:

Looks like the villain from Tangled (Rapunzel story). Who looks like a quintessential yenta.
So she tried to start a bitch fit, failed when they called her bluff..
What an easy job those translators have. Probably have to do nothing everyday. Maybe occasionally translate documents.
And signs. All the signs there are in irish first and then English.
Victim card; denied.
