Tossed my scale. Hardly use it. Never been more successful at getting fit in my entire life.

There were so many more, but no one is tagging. Or they were too drunk to download them when they got home.

Maybe contact some libraries in parts of Ireland where the language is spoken the most? They should be able to help you find some speakers/teachers. They may even sponsor programs on it.

I hadn't thought of that. Thanks!

I've also found some forums of Irish learners/speakers. One absolutely forbids English. Another has an Irish-only section. So I'll put a notice there.

My hope is that once the weather turns cold and nasty and the days get shorter, people are going to be bored inside and want to talk. Right now, they're still enjoying an Indian Summer.
