Perhaps Éire abú ("Onward/Forward Ireland"), or Éireann abú in Ulster (I think).

As far as I know, they'd say "Éire abú" in Ulster as well. I think they use "Éirinn" (the old dative form) in Munster though.

Nope, Éire is the form used in Munster. The dative usage is only used following prepositions.

The dative in Conamara.

You can say that. Or: "ar aghaidh libh!" "Éire go deo!"

a bit moot now though :cry:
