It depends on which dialect of Irish you are using:

"laekh" in the south but "leekh" in the west and north.

In Irish, generally "leekh" with the "kh" the gutteral sound in "Bach".

In the SW it is more like "laekh" however.

The Scottish prounciation is almost like the French sound between oo and ee.

"Oa" is not a combination seen in Gaelic.

"Laoch" is a word meaning "hero". In SW Ireland pronounced like "laekh";

in W and N Ireland as "leekh".
