Is éacht íontach é seo, ba chóir dúinn bheith bródúil as.

Hope the spelling is right anyway! Instead of the comma I think you could link the clauses with gur "...seo gur chóir ..." But I wouldn't be 100% sure.

I never fully understood this grammatically speaking and always go by ear... I think you need an "a" before bheith. Wait for more on this point however. The translation is god though.

I would tentatively suggest this, it's technically closer to the original but I'm not 100% confident in the grammar of it (maybe others can chime in).

Is éacht iontach é seo ar chóir dúinn [a] bheith bródúil as.

I think the tuiseal ginideach of "lámh" might be needed here because of the use of the ainm briathara ("ag")

Thosaigh sé ag croitheadh a láimhe.
