Irish cleft constructions use a copula and are analysed in line with other copular construction: COP PRED SUBJ 
In contrast to English, Irish clefts are much less restrictive with regards to the type of element that can be fronted: Nouns, prepositional phrases, adverbial phrases, adjectives and verbal nouns.
