According to Wikipedia, Munster Irish uses 'leis' to express what other dialects use 'freisin' for.
So, for instance
Mise: Tháinig tú ag Gaelscoil ar an Skytrain?*
Duine: 'Sea.
Mise: Mise freisin.
*Rapid transit system here in Vancouver
Would a Munster speaker ever say 'Mise leis'?
According to the Almighty Wikipedia:
-----------------------------------
Munster Irish differs from the Ulster and Connacht dialects in a number of respects. Some words and phrases used in Munster Irish are not used in the other dialects, such as:
* leis "also" (Connacht fresin, Ulster fosta) |

I'm not sure leis would be used in that particular context.
"Also" covers a wide range!
Here are some examples of leis as also from Tobar na Gaeidhlige
leis
Seán Ó Dálaigh: Timcheall Chinn Sléibhe
20 - 20 as 298: abairt 180, ag toiseacht ar lch 22, líne 10
Tugann daoine d'ainmhithe leis iad.
leis
Seán Ó Dálaigh: Timcheall Chinn Sléibhe
22 - 22 as 298: abairt 201, ag toiseacht ar lch 24, líne 4
Is éadtruime, leis, an tseana-ramhan chun oibriú léi ná an
ramhan nua.
leis
Seán Ó Dálaigh: Timcheall Chinn Sléibhe
23 - 23 as 298: abairt 203, ag toiseacht ar lch 24, líne 6
Is fearr an tseana-ramhan, leis, chun na bprátaí do
phriocadh as an gcré léithi, ná an ramhan nua.
leis
Seán Ó Dálaigh: Timcheall Chinn Sléibhe
27 - 27 as 298: abairt 261, ag toiseacht ar lch 28, líne 22
Tugann siad dá gcapaill, leis, iad. |

Cad a déarfá ina áit? "Mise chomh maith"? |

Is dóigh liom é. "as well" seachas "also" atá i gceist.
Ach bheinn amhrasach go ginearálta faoi dlí ró dhaingean i gcás mar seo. |

I've heard "mise leis" attributed as simply "me, too" in Pimsleur, if I recall correctly, which was supposed to have used native Kerry speakers. I believe it would be used in the case you suggested. |

Yup, "mise leis" is how you would say "me too" in Munster. |
