Is it correct to say "Happy Birthday" like this.....
La-breithe mhaith agat! OR....La breithe shona duit? |

I think La breithe shona duit is the more usual. That's how we sing the Happy Birthday song anyway |

Sin ceart de réir na gramadaí, ach Shona atá fairsing sa chaint. |

In aithris ar Nollaig shona, baininscneach, atá an séimhiú contráilte sin ar ndóigh.
No aspiration Mick. Lá breithe maith duit / sona duit.
More natural still is:
Go maire tú an céad agus bliain chun aithrí. |

All above is great and some people often use ''Go maire tú an lá'' :-)
Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam.
