This phrase was being dissected by Focal Faire (the mediocre programme which replaced the excellent Leagan Cainte) at the weekend.
All were agreed that it was a phrase influenced by english and learners; the only version one was likely to hear in the Gaeltacht was "Tá sorry orm".
Mar sin, to apologise:
Gabh mo léithscéal,
Gabhaim pardún agat,
Tá aiféala orm faoi sin, |

Tá "Tá sorry orm" cloiste agam minic go leor ón gcainteoir Chonamara is múinteoir liom - ach bhí faitíos orm é a rá mé féin i dtús baire, ar eagla nó cheapfaí go raibh an focal "brón" ach ligthe i ndearmad agam.
Bhí "Leagan Cainte" suimiúil go leor, an méid ar thuig mé de! Ach mo léan, ní thuiginn ach cúpla focal san abairt - bhí mé i m'fhíorthosaitheoir ag an bpointe sin.
Tá fáilte roimh chuile cheartú!

Now all we gotta do is wait a few decades before people start suggesting that English's "sorry" came from Irish's "soraigh". ;)

Good point, a Aonghuis,
but only if "Tá brón orm" is used instead of "Gabhaim pardún agat". This is not the case all the time: when you hear a sad story it is more than fitting to say "Tá brón orm" to express your empathy. Saying "Gabh mo léithscéal" in such situations would sound weird.

Is fíor dhuit.
Cheap mé go raibh sé sin intuigthe ón méid a scríobh mé.
De ghnáth ní bhíonn brón na cumha ar dhuine, más é atá de dhíth ná go ngabhfaí pardún.
Fáilte ar ais, dála an scéil. An bhfuil tú in Éirinn? |

Ach i ndáiríre nach bhfuil sé ró-dhéanach an scéal a athrú? Deirtear "Gabh mo leithscéal" .i. Excuse me.
Úsáidtear 'brón' go forleathan.
Mar a deirtear i mBéarla - You can't teach an old dog new tricks..
