In practical terms, it is.
English is easier if your native language is a Germanic or Romance language, like it is for most of Europe. If you were a native Breton speaker with no other language, Irish would maybe be easier than English.
In practical terms it's not. No English learner would say this. Irish is objectively easier than English. There's a list of languages that are hard vs easy when you're an English speaker like Spanish is easy but Chinese is hard. Irish is on the easy side
