I know this is an old post but I'll throw this bit of info up just in case anyone is watching. If by chance you have time to spend a week in Ireland, there is a small place in Co Donegal (http://www.oideas-gael.com/) where you can take Irish classes. They also have a fairly good bookstore (on-line too). Leeds Metropolitan University also offered an Irish night class (1x week for two semesters, levels 1, 2 and three). Not sure if LMU still offers Irish.
