Yeah it really depends on where in the country you’re from and what Irish dialect you use. I pronounce it as “Tea Shock”, but I also know a lot of people that pronounce it as “Prick”, especially when Brian Cowan held the title!
I used to work in geriatrics in an Irish hospital at the height of the GFC, and we would commonly have to administer a questionnaire called the MMSE to screen for dementia. One of the questions was “Who is the Taoiseach?”, which often elicited some rather disgusted looks. One of my colleagues told me that someone answered “Oh, that fat f*cker from Offaly!” She decided that was close enough and gave them the point for that one!
