      I'd go for "cuhoolan" with the stress on the "hoo".

        I'd go for "Coo-cull-en" or "Coo-hoo-lin"
        Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

            Yeats explained that 'Cuchullin (pronounced CuHOOlin) was the great warrior of the Conorian cycle.' . . . The correct pronunciation of Cuchulain is Koo-hullin; Yeats is pronouncing a long vowel as short and a short vowel as long. 'Conor' is an anglicization of a modern pronunciation of Conchubar (620).

                He had a dog too - can't remember what the dog is called!!

                I'd pronounce it Coo-cullan. But my Mam is from Mayo (other sde of the country) and she'd pronounce it way different to me.

                  A hero of ancient Ulster who single-handedly defended it against the rest of Ireland.

                  So that would be Ian Paisley then?

                    "cock, you lean"

                    Irish slang for a gentleman's outfitter. As in "Which side do you dress sir?"
