Have you tried looking for books online or in your local bookstore? I was able to order a few books used online, and you can usually find a little bit of info in a general mythology book. I have a bunch of books like "Encyclopaedia of Fantasy" or "Dictionary of Mythology" etc. General mythology books like that can be easily found or ordered in from local bookstores.
I'll see if I can find that website I had before. A friend of mine is Irish Pagan as well, so I'll ask her if she knows any good websites to look at.
I myself have a huge interest in the Wee Folk as well. I don't know much, but just a little about the Leannan si, bean si, and fairy raths.
Leannan si take on the appearance of women and seduce men. They give their man artistic gifts, which will usually give them fame, before sucking the life force out of them.
Bean Si, or banshee as we now know them by, are the women of the hills. They can be heard on stormy nights by those who are about to die or those close to one soon to die. It is said that before a great Irish king's death, his family heard the bean si's screams.
As for Fairy Raths, if I remember correctly, fairies were once seen as gods (or they are the old gods, oar the people of the Goddess Danu. Something like that). They live in the mounds of earth known as raths, and like fairy rings, if a human steps into one, they may never return. (again, if I remember correctly on this one. I may have gotten a fact or two mixed up haha sweatdrop )
I hope that helps a little.
