All the street signs in Ireland are in Gaelic, as well as the titles of government officials. How can you say the language is dead?

They don’t teach it in schools anymore,when i was going to school 44 yrs ago the christian brothers taught me to speak it.
When i left school i never used it and now have largely forgotten it..
I believe there is one little community on the West coast that still speaks it..
