Abair (to say)
The verb "to say" is abair. This one is properly irregular. In fact, the verb root only appears in any recognisable form in the modh ordaitheach. In other forms it uses roots like deir- and déar-, the aimsir chaite uses dúirt, the verbal noun and adjective are rá and ráite respectively. It's...weird.
