The suspended genitive produces a séimhiú as follows:

cóta Fhear na mBróg

But what happens when the suspended genitive follows an elaborate preposition? Would you have:

de réir Fhear na mBróg
in aice Fhear na mBróg
fá choinne Fhear na mBróg

, or would it be "Fear" (i.e. without the "h")?

As far as I know, it would still be with the "h" and not without it. The "h" is an integral part of the suspended genitive, regardless of where it occurs.
