Need help with a few Irish pronounciations.

Can anyone help?

Isibéal

Madailéin

Monat - is this said how it looks?

Nóirín - is this said like Noreen?

Róis - is this said like Rosh or ROW-sh?

Lasairiona - are there and accent marks for this name? It was in a book i have (and the book doesn't use accent marks..). It also said it's pronounced like lah-sa-REE-nah - is this right?

Thanks!

Shelby

Nóirín is pronounced the same as Noreen.

Lasairíona is Lass-ar-EE-na. As you can see there is an fada on the second i. It's also spelt Lasairfhíona.

I think the others have been covered.
