"I never heard what happened to him after that."
Níor chuala mé céard a tharla dó ina dhiaidh sin.
"I never did hear what happened to him after that."
???
Cén chaoi a gcuirfeá an sórt seo béime ar bhriathar? Tá's agam go raibh plé againn ar a leithéid seo de cheist tamall ó shin, ach nílim cinnte an é seo an rud céanna go beacht:
Is é an chaoi gur chuala mé é
I didn't hear it (i.e. I read it in the newspaper instead?)

tá tuairim ina thaobh agamsa...
níor chuala mé, tar éis an tsaoil, céard a tharla dó ina dhiaidh sin.
agus
níor chualas-sa é (is amhlaidh do léigheas sa nuachtán é). |

Dar liomsa a Aibigail, is ionann an dá habairt a luaigh tú, cé go bhfuil fuaim beagán níos ardnósach ag an ndara ceann.
As for placing emphasis on a verb, let's take an English example first:
It wasn't that he saw the man break into the house, but rather that he heard him.
Here'e my attempt at translation:
Ní hé an cás go bhfaca sé an fear ag briseadh isteach ar an tigh, seachas é a chloisteáil.
-- Fáilte Roimh Cheartú --
Muna mbíonn téarma Gaoluinne agaibh ar rud éigin, bígí cruthaitheach! Ná téigí i muinín focail Bhéarla a úsáid, údar truaillithe é sin dod chuid cainte.
