Could someone provide me with the Donegal (Ulster) pronunication of díograis?

I know certain good folks on this list are loath to provide phonetic (as opposed) to IPA pronunication, but I would appreciate both with díograis.

díograis ?

I do it with three syllables:

1) Dee
(rhymes with "the queen bee"

2) Uh
(take the word "up" and remove the "p")

3) Grish
(You know the author "John Grisham", well take the first syllable of his surname)

Dee Uh Grish

I say the "Dee Uh" quite like the "Dia" in "Dia Dhuit".
