They should have asked about second languages rather than foreign languages.

Irish can't be a foreign language in Ireland as it's an official language of the country. This is also why it doesn't get EU help for minority languages (even though it has few fluent speakers). It's also incorrect to call Welsh and Gaelic foreign languages in the UK as they have been spoken here longer than English has. But the study surely ought to be interested in people studying these languages at school.
Does it include, for example, Francophone Belgians studying Dutch, or doesn't that count as a "foreign" language there either?
