Yesterday I asked my teacher about the pronunciation of Muriel in Ireland and it is just like in the rest of English speaking world, with a [ju] instead of a [u].

I don't know if it could be different in an area of strong Gaelic influence (like Donegal), but in Dublin area the name is just pronounced in the English general way.
