Used Book in Good Condition
I persevered for quite a while at learning Irish jigs and reels on my 5-string. It's a lot of fun, and can sound great, but you will never get the same effect or same speed as playing on a tenor banjo. I eventually bought a tenor banjo and haven't looked back.
There are two guys you definitely need to check out if you want to play Irish music on a 5-string. Tom Hanway's book is the go-to book for learning this style. I would highly reccommend. Dave Hum was a busker from the south east of England who has some great videos of jigs and reels on a 5-string.
Best of luck in your quest.

I hope this helps. I also hope it pasted correctly, if not, go to Amazon and search for Celtic Banjo. It is one of the top choices.
Sorry, I am not quite up to pasting links on reddit, so it may be screwed up. I have the book, it is good.
