Help with the ulster dialect

[metalhead81]

Hey guys, I am wonder if there are any ulster dialect speakers who can help me with a slight issue i am having with pronunciation. As I understand it, the letters mh bh and dh in the ulster dialect are pronounced “ooh” as in Too at the end of words. But, I recently learned/noticed the for some reason, the word “Dom” in the sentence “Ní mór dom dul abhaile anois”, is pronounced as the English word “Do”. Am I correct in assuming the the letter M at the end of words is also pronounced “ooh”?

No. But dom is spelled domh in Ulster Irish.

Ah, that makes much more sense now.
Go raibh míle maith agat.
