Not quite. Green countries are germanic or uralic (finnish, estonian, hungarian). I assume each country is only represented by a single language on the map, and Ireland is probably assumed to be speaking English according to this map.
I think the numbers speaking Irish Gaelic are incredibly small, whereas Welsh is still a commonly spoken first language away from south Wales.
I looked up the welsh for toes and found toesau which is a Welsh pluralised borrow from English, but also bysedd traed, which is indeed fingers of the foot, so I think Wales should be added to the stripey red and green part of the map as per other comments.
I don’t know much about it, but I suspect this is not far off from being just a map of the 'Germanic" language family.

Ah excellent, thank you.
