Doesn't quite seem like a monolingual Irish speaker would have said that. Not that I'm making an active effort to avoid Béarlachas. Me being a native speaker of English and someone who doesn't live in Éirinn, that would be a futile effort, even when I get into Ulster dialect later on down the line.

I remember looking into getting them when I first started seriously learning Irish, but I went with Ó Siadhail's book instead. Tús Maith, as far as I'm aware, is specifically for learning Ulster Irish.

TBH, I think that's your best bet. I mean, Donegal Irish is not so different from the standard (I know the standard is least heavily influenced by UI, but it's still the same language). Just try to use as many Ulsterisms in your CO as you can, and use Ulster pronunciation.

They are fairly standard, I think, but they have Ulster words like "tábla" and "madadh". I cannot say much about it, I have only discovered it quite recently.
