    I used to use this when it was free, but they don't have a terribly great selection. Now that they're charging to use it, I'mjust going to go and buy myself a copy of DeBhalraithe's dictionary.

    I think that you can buy Murphy's or DeBhalraithe's dictionaries for about E20. Correct me if I'm wrong. But these guys are the definitive Irish dictionaries and well worth the investment if you're serious about irish

    This is the guy

    I bought them in the John Smith Bookshop here on campus in UCC, but these are standard, you should be able to get them for about the same price in any bookshop. Try Eason's. The deBhaldraithe was ~E21 and Murphy ~E8
