Any recommendations for books in Irish that are not of a difficulty that makes them impenetrable for a learner but challenging enough to give plenty opportunities to look up words or phrases? Not textbooks, more like novels etc. - I've a few graphic novels but ideally something longer. #Gaeilge

Fianna Fáil TD Michael Cahill – convicted last week of dangerous driving – was previously found liable by a court for causing a crash that left a young girl with “difficulty learning to walk”.
He was ordered to pay £6,000 compensation to the girl.
