National Geographic has an article on their web site titled "Rural Irish Speakers Fight Influx of English".
Included is a real audio file of Louis de Paor reading Fáilte Uí Dhonnchú in Irish and in English. Look to the right side of the page under the photo for the poetry reading.

If you read Irish, you may like to read the interview with Louis de Paor in this months edition of Beo

or you may just like to see his photo

Louis performs and records with singer/guitarist John Spillane
Some of his poems are sung, others recited with accompaniment
