Irish dialects

[smmg]

We're taught the Connacht dialect of Irish at university, but I want to learn a dialect that's more connected to my family. My granny is from County Dublin though and I get the impression there's not enough records of any Leinster Irish to reliably reconstruct the dialect, and that Irish spoken in Leinster today is very Connacht-Irish-based? But my granny's father was from County Cork so maybe I should focus on learning the Munster dialect, and more specifically the Cork dialect 🤔 I am maybe interested in incorporating some features of the records we do have of Dublin Irish, but I feel like my speech would probably be quite old-fashioned then? Like with my Welsh, the Gwenhwyseg dialect can be read as older-fashioned since no-one really in south east Wales really speaks with that dialect anymore, although features of it do remain in the present-day Welsh spoken there. So I try to sound like I'm from the south east (I am) but I usually come across as more general South Walian, and one of my lecturers told me I'd sound like I lived 100 years ago in the Ebbw Vale if I used certain Gwenhwyseg features lol
