Here's a link to a book published in 1906 which appears to be written in Galway Irish. Because of it's age, the book uses the Seanchló and older spelling forms. "Ag gaḃáil" is used rather than "ag dul" and "acob" rather than "aca" which would indicate Galway Irish. So it should be a useful resource for people learning (or who already speak) the Connacht dialect, particularly those who disagree with the "spelling reforms" of the 1940's. This book shows how Connacht Irish could have been spelled back in the day.

Here is the link to the book ("Fréaṁaċa na h-Éireann") on Archive.org: https://archive.org/details/fraaanahireann00unkngoog

Best of luck! :D

I should also mention another great resource: check out duchas.ie. They have all the folklore commision's school collections online there, with many of them written in Irish, from around 1936 I think. Also a great resource for researching the dialects, as you can browse documents from a particular area of the country - there's an interactive map where you can select the documents from certain areas. Also you can sign up to the site to volunteer and help to transcribe the documents, as many of them have yet to be transcribed.

Ah, thanks for clarifying! :D I'm just learning how to differentiate between the different sub-dialects of Connacht.
