Correct me if I'm wrong, but...

I think this is how you pronounce some of these names. I'm trying to learn Irish Gaelic so...

---

"mh" is pronounced like the English 'v'
"ao" like 'ee'
"ia and ai" like 'ee'
"dh" like 'y' (as in Toirdhealbhach pronounced tor-YEL-uv-akh)
"thne" like "nya" (as in Eithne, pronounced EN-ya or sometimes closer to Edna)
"nait" like "nat"
"gh" is silent or occasionally like a hard "g"
"eo" like "Yo or O"
"ch" like "k"
"se" like "sh"
"ea" like a long "a"
"uar" like "or"
Saraid and Maraid are pronounced SAW-rid and MAW-rid
Iarfhlaith is prnounced Ear-lie

Hope this helps. I'm pretty sure this is how everything is pronounced, but I may be incorrect. I am still learning!
