If I'm not mistaken it's O'Connell.

it is anglicised O Connolly, as it ends in a vowel, but as medial gh is now always slender, the gaelic prononciation is what is not so clear (modren pronounc.)

If I am not mistaken it can also be anglicized as
Conneely.

There's a girl in my course from Leitir Móir (as Gaeltacht as it gets!)

She pronounces Conghaile - Con - ay - le.
A people without a language of its own is only half a nation.A nation should guard its language more than its territories, 'tis a surer barrier and a more important frontier than mountain or river

On the cd Éist, Christy Moore sings a song called "na Conghailigh" as bearla known as "the two Conneelys".

You can hear a sample of the song here:

Just before the end, you can hear how Ó Conghaile is pronounced.
