I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.

Connemara pronunciation, of course.

maraigh na taibhsí
MAR-uh nuh TIVE-shee
/ma:rə Nə taiw´s´i:/

maraigh would be MOR-ig /morəg´/ in Munster and MUH-ree /mari:/ in Ulster, I think.

(Edited to shut Lughaidh up - for a little while anyway. )

Only Connemaaaara people pronounce all a's long

In Munster it's "mah-rigg" and in Ulster "mah-ree", not "maaaaa-ruh" like yous

Now why would you want to think of killing all the ghosts? Eddie Lenihan needs every one of them to be able to tell his stories and earn a living (and he calls a bush - sceach, especially the one at Latoon)

Apparently it's actually MOR-ig /morəg´/ in Munster. (Dillon/Ó Cróinín)

That's what I'd say. Definitely closer to an o sound than an a sound in any case.
