There are books such as "An Gleann is a Raibh Ann," "Mo Sgéal Féin" etc available in Irish but they are all written in Munster Irish. I have a lot of interest in all the dialects and I was looking for their likes in Ulster or Connacht Irish but I couldn't find any. Does anyone have any information on this? Thanks a lot
Look for older editions of Máire's work. It's mostly all in traditional Donegal Irish (there is no other Ulster Irish left) as he spoke it. Sadly, Ó Dónaill caighdeánised it after his death, despite him explicitly wishing for it not to be done.
As for Connacht Irish, you won't find much written in a strongly dialectal manner sadly. It seems to get standardised more often than most dialects (or, rather, it never had an author who wrote very dialectally to begin with). Your best bet would be to go to Dúchas and read the stuff collected in Conamara by Liam Mac Coisdealbha. He transcribed quite faithfully, as did a few of the others (though all to a lesser degree than Mac Coisdealbha).
