Yes, in Ireland, all students must study English, Irish and one other foreign language. French is most popular. German used to be second, but it seems that Spanish has now overtaken German.

In Ireland, few people speak Irish. So really, for comparison, French would be the second language studied after Irish, but officially Irish is the native tongue so not counted.
