Any help will be greatly apreciated and honor in hat form will be given in return.

Are you just looking for a couple of words, or are you actually looking to speak the language?

Dia Dhuit = Hello
pro: Dee Ah Ghu-ith
(literally God be with you, Dia = God, Duit = to/with you)

Dia 's Muire Dhuit = Hello (used to reply to Dia Dhuit)
pro: Dee ah iss(like hiss) murr-ah ghu-ith
(literally God and Mary be with you, Muire = Mary)

Conas atá tú? = How are you?
pro: Cun ass ah taah too?

Tá mé go maith = I am well
pro: Taah may guh mah

X is anim dom = X is my name
pro: X iss an imm dum

Póg mo thóin = Kiss my ass
P-oh-g muh ho-in

If there is any specific word or phrase you are looking for, ask me and if I can, I'll post it....I'm pretty rubbish at speaking Irish though!
