How do you adopt feudal as Ireland?

Just curious as I've done almost all of the stuff for it except the innovations, and currently I'm not even close, each 1 takes about 40 years and theres still quite a few to go. Is it just a struggle to get feudal as some people, or does it speed up eventually / as you invade people with those innovations?

In case you are adverse to links here are the highlights.

Amount of advancement gained = 0.3 + (average cultural province Development * 0.02) + 0.2 if ahead in era.

Everything else is % boosts based on this variable. While the boosts from exposure (being next to a group that have it), and fascination (cultural head's choice) is quite large the overall development's impact on innovation speed is massive.

Development spreads so make sure to pick a few key points in your realm which always includes your own capital, and constantly bounce the increase development task between them.

With royal court (as in you need the DLC) there is another way to "quickly" gain innovations. When you create a hybrid culture the new culture gets all the innovations of both parent cultures.

I've got Desmond to near 10 development after focusing on it for a while, but ye rest of it is quite terrible. Guess I'll start at least in England after this one so I can get out of Tribal before the game ends :P

Conquer a high development county and hybrid with that culture.

Having rulers with high learning stat and focusing learning skill trees will speed up innovations as having your steward on 24/7 to increase development.
You should get it before 1066 start date when starting 867 as tribal.
However most of the game you are behind innovations compared to those that start as feudal (or clan).
