read (said as in the colour red) up- tidy up
kip- untidy (ie. "me room is a feckin' kip!), or means to sleep (ie. "Anywhere good to kip for a while?")
yer one- the person there whose name i do not know/can't say
yonder- over there somewhere
lock of (locka) minutes- in a while (a Fermanagh "while" could be anything between a few minutes to a few hours)

There's more. Google Hiberno English phrases and you'll find 'em.
