    Tá brón orm nach raibh mé in ann bheith i láthair an tseachtain seo caite.

    Mó bhrón nár éirigh liom bheith ann an tseachtain seo caite.

    Gabh mo leithscéal nach dtiocfadh liom bheith i láthair an tseachtain seo caite.

    Any of the above - middle one is slightly more informal. You can mix & match between the different parts of each, e.g. swap "Tá brón orm" for "Mo bhrón", etc.

    Not looking to be picky etc, but just for clarity's sake - I would tend to associate "aiféala/aiféaltas" with embarrassment/shame rather than apology. At least that's how I'd interpret it if it was said/written to me.

    Tá aiféala orm = I regret
