For translations online of ancient celtic irish texts, I'd recomend
http://members.aol.com/lochlan2/lebor.htm for the Lebor Gabala Erren (Book
of Invasions) and the Tain Bo Cuailgne version presented by IMBAS
http://www.imbas.org since it is a good translation from the gaeilge and has
the gaeilge text next to the english version, which I find to be a nice
touch. The best translated for the Tain, however is the one you can obtain
at any online bookstore by Thomas Kinsella.
Thank you for the tips on bibliography - I'm a bit new at all this, and
didn't know of the two books you mentioned.

Any suggestions for translations of the Book of Invasions and more
about the Tuatha De Danaan or the Fenian Cycle?

The two books mentioned above (Koch, Cross & Slover) will satisfy.
