    any websites with online texts/books would be much appreciated as well.

    Fundamentals of physics - David Halliday, Robert Resnick, Jearl Walker (5th ed. 1997)

    UCD first year physics book. Very big and quite expensive, but a brilliant book. If you're looking to do physics for your leaving cert or even college, I found it to be the best. Waay better than the crappy one on the LC syllabus. It starts with the very basics, and uses practical (modern) demonstrations to get the ideas across. You can't go wrong. About €60

    :)

    physics by jim breithaupt is good
    but i'd consider getting the leaving cert book first and see it you can digest that.
