    I presume you've looked at the NCI (Nation Corpus for Ireland), and that
    it doesn't meet your needs.

    Have you looked at Keven Scannel's collection
    (http://borel.slu.edu/crubadan/index.html)? Looks like he has a 25M
    word corpus of Irish, which I believe he collected entirely off the web.
