For me, lenition is appropriate here, but wait for the grammar specialists to be sure.

Is dóigh liomsa go bhfuil an séimhiú de dhíth ort anseo, ach fan leis na saineolaithe gramadaí le bheith cinnte...

this one is right, not the other. The direct relative "a" lenites (when possible).
You often say "Cé mhéad atá ar thicéad?" too (how much is on a ticket).

Regardless of dialect?

Yes - The direct relative a lenites in all dialects. :yes: (The indirect relative a causes eclipsis.)

Maybe in Urban Irish they wouldn't lenite (anyway they don't manage to pronounce a broad ch) :darklaugh: :darklaugh: :darklaugh: :darklaugh:

-- it's a joke. Yeah in correct Irish it's lenited in all dialects

Don't they say the likes of this in Munster?

Ní mar a síltear do bítear go minic

or

Ní mar a síltear bítear go minic

or

Ní mar a síltear a bítear go minic

Perhaps it's just a briathar saor thing in Munster. Or perhaps I am just wrong! If so then I blame Caffler on the old site.

But in your sentences the verb is in the autonomous form in Munster Irish. So it's different.
In Wannalearnirish's sentence there is a lenition in all dialects.
