Now that I think about it that means "now and always."
"now and forever" is "anois agus go deo"

That also works, yes.
As I understand it go deo and go brách are essentially interchangeable, although with go brách somewhat the more formal of the two.
(I'm a learner myself though, so take that for what it's worth!)

When I was in Ireland I only heard 'go brách' in the phrase, "As go brách libh!" when someone was trying to get rid of us and so I associate it with this negative meaning. That's why I didn't choose that one. In America I've seen it often with various spellings as in 'Erin go bragh' but that's not something I ever heard at home and patriotism only came to the fore for us for the World Cup and then the chant was Olé, olé, olé, olé... Because I didn't hear it at home I kind of think of it in the same way I think of 'Top of the morning to you'. But that's just me and my associations. It's probably not the same for everyone.
