Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't. The square root of 2 and the square root of 3 are both irrational, as is their product, the square root of 6. The square root of 2 and the square root of 8 are both irrational, but their product, the square root of 16, is rational (in fact, it equals 4).

No. The easiest counter-example to show that the product of two irrational numbers can be a rational number is that the product of √2 and √2 is 2. Likewise, the cube root of 2 is also an irrational number, but the product of 3√2, 3√2 and 3√2 is 2.

Is the product of two irrational numbers is an integer?

It can be, but need not be. [sqrt(5)+sqrt(2)] and [sqrt(5)-sqrt(2)] are both irrational. Their product is 5-2 = 3. The two numbers are conjugates of one another and the property that their product is an integer is used to rationalise denominator of surds.
