I couldn't track down the informant to confirm she was from the area or where she might have got her Gaelic from.

I don't know what the situation was in the 1930s, but Piatt's 1933 Gaelic Dialects of Leinster certainly treats it as all but dead, with the latest evidence of Maynooth having native speakers being from the late 1880s.

Hence it seems likely to me that the informant was either not a native speaker, or a native speaker of another area's Gaelic. I will update this note if I am able to find out more.
