    English 1st place (Four Million+ speakers).
    Polish 2nd place (120.000 speakers).
    Irish 3rd place (82.600 speakers).
    French 4th place (56.000 speakers).

    So Polish is now entrenched as the 2nd spoken language in the state, with 120.000 speakers in the latest findings, and this despite the mass exodus of Poles since the economic downturn! So what does this say about the 1st official language of the state, with Irish now definately deligated to third place with just 82.000 people (1.8%) of the Irish population claiming that they speak Irish on a daily basis! There is of course much more detail to these findings, all of which can be found on the RTE link below.
