go n-éirí an t-adh leat
adh mór leat
go n-éirí an bóthar leat (may the road succeed with you - I see a connection...) |

A chairde,
I've heard "adh mór ort" rather than "leat".
Le meas,

Go n-éirí leat - May you "succeed"
Go n-éirí go geal leat - May you succeed wonderfully
Ádh mór ort - "Big luck on you"
I don't think "go n-éiri an t-ádh leat" would be heard in the wild, I don't think it's correct... it would mean "may the luck succeed with you" which doesn't really make sense.
I may be wrong... |

Wow - thanks for all responses so quickly! Initially, I thought of just the word for luck, but now realize wishing someone good luck can be said a few different ways.
Go raith maith agaibh!

go n-éirí an t-adh leat was the first way I learned how to say it. I don't like it because to non-gaeilgeoirí it sounds like your wishing someone a good toilet (t-adh leat) |

"Go néiri an t-ádh leat" a bheadh agamsa.
Ní bheadh locht agam air "Ádh mór ort" ná ar "Ádh mór leat" |
