Oxford Pocket Irish Dictionary by
The Oxford Pocket Irish Dictionary is the essential reference for anyone writing, studying, or speaking Irish as it is used today. The comprehensive grammar section provides clear guidance, and there are easy-to-read verb tables for all regular and irregular verbs. Also, frequently used words that can be difficult to master are given a special layout and usage notes to help you use them correctly. With over 100,000 phrases and translations, as well as pronunciation of the three main regional systems--Ulster, Connacht, and Munster--shown at every entry, this is the ideal reference for student, traveller, and the general user.
An Fear Nach NDéanann Gáire by
This imaginative collection of short stories brings the reader on a riotous journey into a surreal world. It sweeps us along in a whirlwind through stories that are at times dark, at other times awash with colour, and often laced with a sardonic humour. From the sadness of the deserted train station to the hysterical story of the severed leg, by way of cannibalism, one-legged men, male prostitutes and real estate agents, this collection will appeal to the senses, the heart and the head! Little by little in these stories Micheál Ó Conghaile destroys the boundary between the real and the surreal until they are indistinguishable. The fluidity of style and the lyricism of these stories are testimony to the author’s mastery of his craft.
Gaeilge books are mainly held on Level 2 (491.62 and 891.62). We also have a selection of children's books as Gaeilge (J891.623)

The Dirty Dust by
The original English-language translation of Ó Cadhain's raucous masterpiece Cré na Cille, which has been called by Colm Tóibín "the greatest novel to be written in the Irish language." "An audacious novel rendered entirely in dialogue . . . [with] hilarious quarrels and devastating put-downs that reflect O'Cadhain's finely attuned ear for the nimble language of his people. He does not judge their time-wasting pettiness, so much as he celebrates the flaws that make us so tragically, wonderfully, human."--Dan Barry, New York Times Book Review Máirtín Ó Cadhain's irresistible and infamous novel The Dirty Dust is consistently ranked as the most important prose work in modern Irish, yet no translation for English-language readers has ever before been published. Alan Titley's vigorous new translation, full of the brio and guts of Ó Cadhain's original, at last brings the pleasures of this great satiric novel to the far wider audience it deserves. In The Dirty Dust all characters lie dead in their graves. This, however, does not impair their banter or their appetite for news of aboveground happenings from the recently arrived. Told entirely in dialogue, Ó Cadhain's daring novel listens in on the gossip, rumors, backbiting, complaining, and obsessing of the local community. In the afterlife, it seems, the same old life goes on beneath the sod. Only nothing can be done about it--apart from talk. In this merciless yet comical portrayal of a closely bound community, Ó Cadhain remains keenly attuned to the absurdity of human behavior, the lilt of Irish gab, and the nasty, deceptive magic of human connection.
