Irish adjectives have three declensions, each with the same case structure as the nouns they qualify. The adjectives agree with nouns in gender, case and plurality.

Irish adjectives are classified by their endings: consonants; ‑úil, ‑ir; vowels.

Irish adjectives undergo standard initial mutations.

The comparative (and superlative) is formed regularly using the genitive singular, feminine. There is a small set of irregular comparatives.
