First, I'll just correct a wayward síneadh fada there above - the E in Easonóir, and I think some of those capitals would be better in lower case.

The pronunciations as I would say them:

http://www.awyr.com/ILF/saewndfaylz/%C3 ... 3%A1ch.mp3

Éire go Brách
EH-rhih guh BRAWKH
/e:r´ə gə brɑ:x/


http://www.awyr.com/ILF/saewndfaylz/B%C ... 3%B3ir.mp3

Bás roimh Easonóir
BAWSS riv ASS-ON-oarh
/bɑ:s riw´ 'æ:sˌono:r´/


http://www.awyr.com/ILF/saewndfaylz/D%C ... 3%B3ir.mp3

Dílseacht agus Onóir
JEEL-shukht oguss ON-oarh
/d´i:l´s´əxt ogəs ono:r´/

Slender r in the middle or at the end of a word in Irish has a buzz somewhat like the French j in je, which I have written as "rh" in the phonics.

Broad r is flapped like the Scottish English r.

The broad ch /x/ (kh in my phonics) is like the ch in loch /lox/ (lokh), never like a k sound. It may help to think of a very breathy h pronounced deep in the throat.

As with any language, pronounciation differs slightly from person to person and dialect to dialect.

Others are welcome to offer their versions below.
