A smaller dictionary is published by Talbot Press, Dublin (compiled by
 ,   ,  ,
Micheal O Siochfhradh).  It is small (5" x 7", about 300 pages, hardback)
but contains both Irish-English and English-Irish and should be helpful to 
beginners.  I obtained mine several years ago from:  S. F. Book Imports,
P. O. Box 526, San Francisco, CA 94101.  I don't remember what it cost but it 
was certainly less than $35.  Check BOOKS IN PRINT or a local bookstore to see 
if it's still available.
