Sa-oir-se.
That is how to pronounce that sequence of letters.
It's not that difficult, it's clear for the whole continent.
Unless you are an imbecile from one of those islands.
If that's the case, just invent a new rule every time.
SAIR-sha, or so I've been told. It's a really weird Celtic name, like Siobhan (SHOW-bon), or Mairead (mah-REED), or Meav (MAYV).
Weirdest Celtic name I've seen so far is Loghair, which for no reason I can decipher, is pronounced, "LEER-ee."
SUR-SHA ROW-NEN....CONFIRMED BY SAOIRSE HERSELF.

There are multiple videos of her explaining it. I think even once on the Graham Norton show she did a little rhyme. But from her directly in case you don't trust any of the comments here.
