Let S be a birationally ruled surface. We show that the moduli schemes MS(r,c1,c2) of semistable sheaves on S of rank r and Chern classes c1 and c2 are irreducible for all (r,c1,c2) provided the polarization of S used satisfies a simple numerical condition. This is accomplished by proving that the stacks of prioritary sheaves on S of fixed rank and Chern classes are smooth and irreducible.
