There's a Polish book called An Ghaelainn, I think, and a course from Assimil in French, but I remember reading review (by Lughaidh I believe) which

available.

Was that Polish book written by Aidan Doyle by any chance?

Yes, indeed it's Aidan Doyle's book. I got the title wrong, it's actually called An Ghaeilge.

Does anybody know how good it is?

I am not sure how good it is but Aidan Doyle is a lecturer for the Irish dept at UCC.

Oh, cool! It's a pity there isn't a translation into English, because it's the only textbook that teaches Kerry Irish.

Insoco, out of curiosity, are there Russian books or CDs for learning Irish, or do you always have to learn through English?

there is only one Russian "Concise grammar of Irish", very very poor quality
