Recently I found a short crime novel in Irish called "Paloma". It's told in simple Irish and is aimed at the adult learner. It also comes with a recording of the text on CD. The reader is from Gweedore, and since I know some of you are fans of Ulster Irish, I thought you might be interested. Unfortunately I don't have the author's name at hand, but I can get it if any of you are interested.
