Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone had a list of the verbs that are exception sin the aimsir fháistineach (apart from na briathra neamhrialta obviously). I was thinking something like this (http://studycentral.weebly.com/irish/category/an%20aimsir%20chaite - scroll down) but this website doesn't have the future tense or modh coinníollach exceptions. Go raibh míle maith agat!

For first conjugation verbs, the future and conditional conjugation exceptions can be subdivided into the following major subgroups:
\1. One-syllable verb stems ending in -aeigh, -áigh, -aoigh, -eoigh, -iaigh, -óigh, -uaigh, or úigh, such as dóigh : suffix begins with broad f —
- future: dófaidh mé/tú/sé/sí/sibh/siad, dófaimid, dófar ;
- conditional: dhófainn, dhófá, dhófadh sé/sí/sibh, dhófaimis, dhófaidís, dhófaí.
\2. One-syllable verb stems ending in -éigh, such as téigh : suffix begins with slender f —
- future: téifidh mé/tú/sé/sí/sibh/siad, téifimid, téifear ;
- conditional: théifinn, théifeá, théifeadh sé/sí/sibh, théifimis, théifidís, théifí.
\3. One-syllable verb stems ending in consonant + -igh, or consonant + short vowel + -igh, such as suigh : suffix begins with slender f, and i in stem is replaced with í —
- future: suífidh mé/tú/sé/sí/sibh/siad, suífimid, suífear ;
- conditional: shuífinn, shuífeá, shuífeadh sé/sí/sibh, shuífimis, shuífidís, shuífí.
\4. Those verbs that require broadening the stem, such as siúil : suffix begins with broad f —
- future: siúlfaidh mé/tú/sé/sí/sibh/siad, siúlfaimid, siúlfar ;
- conditional: shiúlfainn, shiúlfá, shiúlfadh sé/sí/sibh, shiúlfaimis, shiúlfaidís, shiúlfaí.
For second conjugation verbs that are syncopated (those verbs with more than one syllable and which end in -aibh, -ail, -aill, -ain, -air, or a consonant followed by one of -il, -ill, -in, -ir, or -is, such as codail [with a broad stem] or taitin [with a slender stem], but note that not all multisyllable second conjugation verbs with these endings are syncopated): move the final consonant of the stem before the final vowel(s) and conjugate as normal for second conjugation verbs —
- (broad) future: codlóidh mé/tú/sé/sí/sibh/siad, codlóimid, codlófar ;
- (broad) conditional: chodlóinn, chodlófá, chodlódh sé/sí/sibh, chodlóimis, chodlóidís, chodlófaí ;
- (slender) future: taitneoidh mé/tú/sé/sí/sibh/siad, taitneoimid, taitneofar ;
- (slender) conditional: thaitneoinn, thaitneofá, thaitneodh sé/sí/sibh, thaitneoimis, thaitneoidís, thaitneofaí.

If by “knew the exceptions to those rules” you’d meant “had a complete list of all verbs to which the exceptions above apply”, no, I don’t have such a list. If you have access to the book Standard Irish Verbs, you could compile such a list yourself.

It could depend upon the dialect. For Connacht Irish, the Wikipedia article on Irish orthography describes the different effects of the -f… in the conjugations above.
I recommend teanglann.ie when looking up verbs, the site gives a complete breakdown of all conjugations for every verb.
