Since it is 'until' doom, would this have been once 'go dtí' rather than the more adverb looking 'go brách'?

Thus with shortening, dat sing replacal and voicing of c to g, we get 'Éirinn go brách'.

Any takers?

Nope! The "dtí" is the interloper actually.

go = to/until
go dtí = go dtaga = to/until _ comes

Tá fáilte roimh chuile cheartú!
