They give lessons on written standard stuff but they'd need grammar lessons (even in standard grammar)
and in their homepage there's a chapter called "cruinneas"...

I don't see anything wrong with it.

1-"An rud is maith leis an gcainteoir a bheith ina chomhluadar" - Direct relative.
The thing the speaker likes to be (have) in his (=the speaker's) company. (Sounds a bit awkward, I know).

2 -"An rud ar maith leis an gcainteoir (a) bheith ina chomhluadar" - Indirect relative.
The thing in whose company the speaker likes to be

Of course in no 2 it would be "bheith", not "a bheith" according to that site..

that's the way I understood it

Bhí mé ag déanamh gur sin an dóigh ar thuig tú é. Ach ós rud é gurb é an ceann eile a bhí i gceist acu, déarfainn go mbeidh ort leithscéal a ghabháil leo as cruinneas a gcuid gramadaí a cháineadh go mifhéaráilte

Sea, ar ndóighe!
Ach is aisteach an abairt eile, le fírinne, sin an tuighe ar shíl mé go rabh sí mícheart...
