Anyone got a full list of Irish verbs?

0mega

Hi, studying for the Leaving Cert and really worried about the oral exam. I was wondering if anyone has a notes or a list of most Irish verbs with their meanings to help me out.

I don't need all the tenses, etc. just the word and it's English equivalent.

Thanks in advance.
