It's not pronounced "tea shock."Or rather, it shouldn't be.

According to Wikipedia...It's /ˈtiːʃəx/; in English, which transliterates approximately as "teeshukh".
I bow to any native Irish speakers who can provide a better guide.

You're not the only Sasanach to trip over that pronunciationAfter Ireland were beaten by Italy in 1990, then-Taoiseach Charlie Haughey visited the dressing room. Niall Quinn remembered: "Those of us brought up in Ireland stood there in amazement as he made a speech about sporting sons of Ireland. It was totally hair standing up on the back of the neck stuff. But not everyone was from Ireland. Tony Cascarino was behind me and said loudly: 'Who the f*** is that?', ruining the moment. I said: 'that's the Taoiseach'. Andy Townsend was beside him and said loudly again: 'Who is it, Cas?' And he said: 'Dunno. Quinny said he owns a tea shop.'"
