D'éiríos go luath maidin Dé Domhnaigh. Do bhuaileas le mo stócach, mo dheartháir agus a bhean sa Chaife Meinl agus d'ólamair lán caife. D'ólas an iomarca mar is gnách. Bhí air [livejournal.com profile] monshu dul abhaile, ach leis an mbeirt eile acu go dtí a dtigh chun an foirgneamh nua a fheiceáil. Tá sé an-álainn. D'fhanas in éineacht leo ar feadh tamaill agus do bhíomair ag caint. Do chabhraíos leo na brioscaí a phúdráil le siúcra.

Seachain na doirse, tá na doirse ag druidim

That's right. The singular imperative is used for public announcements, except for those announcements that tell you *not* to do something, in which case they use + present autonomous form of the verb. "Don't smoke" = Ná caitear (instead of ná caith(igí).

And again, for dialect continuity, you might prefer ag dúnadh to ag druidim (very Ulster!)

This things need to come with labels! My dictionaries just seem to pretend that dialects don't exist.
