Here are some sound files for Conamara-style pronunciation:

.:>:.Cuimhnigh ar cheol a bhaint as an saol. "Remember to live"
KWEEV-rhih airh KHYOLL uh WINE-t(ch) us a SEAL
/ki:w´r´ə er´ x´o:L_ə waiN´t´ a:s uh si:L/

.:>:.Cuimhnigh go bhfaighidh muid bás "Remember that we will die".
KWEEV-rhih guh WYE mwid BAWSS
/ki:w´r´ə gə wai mid´ bɑ:s/

NOTES:

Cuimhnigh actually has about twelve variants but this should be one of the more common ones.

Slender mh is a v sound.

n is pronounced like an r after mh, and is lightly flapped so as to be somewhat buzzy when slender.

Slender ch is a hissy h sound like the h in "human".
