First pass:

Cuireann mé mo mhuinín i nDia: I place my trust in God.

Wait for more input please.

I second Redwolf's based on the NEID. Now, whether that's an Anglicism added to the NEID or not I can't say. Wait for others on that one.

Wouldn't that be Cuirim?

I've never heard of cuireann mé. Is that how they say cuirim up north?

Both ways are correct.

Go raibh maith agat, a Bhríd.
Níor chuala é sin riamh.

On reflection, I'd say "Cuirim" would be more usual.

Would one or the other be more common in Conamara?

You will hear both. Depending on usage and what verb it is.
