What I can say is that I never heard it in speech in Donegal -- which doesn't prove anything :mrgreen: but I mean, I think it's not common in speech nowadays, if it still exists.

However I saw the 1sg form (with -ad) in one or two traditional songs (ní chodlóchad go lá leat, in a song I forgot its title) and I saw it sometimes in traditional literature (Ó Grianna etc) in answers (ní rachad).

Connemara Irish also mostly uses them in yes/no answers. :yes:
