Ah well, you win some, you lose some. It just shows how much I don't know.

Correct.
Nach Éireannach tú? Is Éireannach mé.
Nach bhfuil tú go maith? Tá mé go maith

Oh, gabh mo leithscéal. Ní raibh a fhios agam. I know when to use thú in the Standard, but I'm still unclear on when you can substitute tú in Ulster. FWIW, An Teanga Bheo: Gaeilge Uladh gives these examples:
Chonaic na páistí tú.
Cé a chonaic tú?
Cén fear a shábháil tusa?

Bhuel, seinim an fidil agus is brea liom ceol tradisiúnta, agus bhí mé ag foghlaim Gaeilge i m'aonar, as teipeanna agus leabhartha. Tháinig mé anseo ar laetheanta saoire, agus d'fhan mé!
seinim an fidil = I play the fiddle
ceol tradisiúnta = traditional music
i m'aonar = on my own
teipeanna = tapes
leabhartha = books
Tháinig mé = I came
laetheanta saoire = holidays
d'fhan mé = I stayed

You missed the point in all the posts  - It wasn't a questions of tú/thú (both fine) but nach bhfuil/nach!
