I just tried out Foclóir Beag:
http://www.csis.ul.ie/scripts/focweb/Exe/focloir.exe
when you try interrogative form of "seasaim" - the engine gives "an tseasaim" (?!) A glitch or something I never knew about this verb?

Glitch, I think, due to too mechanical application of rules.

Is it of the first conjugation in Dún na nGall? I have a lot of evidence it is of the second conjugation in Munster, thus:
seasaím, seasaíonn sé 7rl, the past tense is really cool - do sheasaimh (!!) sé.

In Donegal Irish I've seen both "seas" and "seasaigh" in books. Anyway in NW Donegal, there's only one conjugation, even in polysyllable verbs ending with -(a)igh:
ceannam, ceannann tú, etc, instead of ceannaím, ceannaíonn tú...
"an seasaim" is Standard Irish.
