Here are the 'highlights' from the Instiuid Teangeolaiocht Eireann catalogue.
It lists journals, handbooks, teaching aids, surveys, research reports etc.

I have listed the title, a short description from the catalogue, and
my guess at what language it is written.  All prices are given in
Irish Punts (IRP).  My own comments are in [...] brackets.  I have no
connection with the above institute.  All spelling mistakes are
mine and are deliberate !!!
 
There is no extra charge for Post and Packing even transatlantic,
(yes, I checked twice and there is no P+P). But they do ask you to
pay in punts.  Todays exchange rate is :
        1punt = 1.61 USD
        1punt =  .90 GBP
