I have rarely been able to find transcripts to accompany audio clips, so this reading by the south Conamara author Micheál Ó Conghaile will be of interest to some. Ó Conghaile was born on the tiny island of Inis Treabhair (abandoned since 1993) in Ceantar na nOileán.

This is why I prefer Conamara Irish! The sounds and rhythms are more pleasing to my ear, and I find them easier to reproduce compared with Ulster or Munster Irish, although only slightly...

The thing that stands out to me about Ó Conghaile's reading is how certain small words are almost passed over...the pace is very quick at times. I can barely make them out, even with the aid of the transcript.
