    According to a google search it's Saerbhreathach but that sounds stupid.

    Justin Walsh would be a bit of a mouthful in Irish so.

    there is no 'J' in Irish

    I'm pretty sure it's Uistean. I might be wrong, as I couldn't find anything on the web to support this and I'm going from memory.

    You could try Teach na nGealt?

    EDIT: You should blame your parents for giving you a Yank name.

    I have been doing some research into this and the name “Justin” is translated to “Saerbhreathach” Meaning: Noble Judge

    This name has been in used in the Dail and in GAA circles as a direct translation
