Like many Irish names Muirgen is spelled differently than it's pronounced.
It took some searching (because it was more of an adventure than just asking), but looks like it's pronounced:
MURR-en

Here's a site that gives a decent breakdown for how to pronounce it:

Note: in the concert she did with Susan McFadden for RTE last year it sounded more like
WARE-en or WHEER-en or WHEER-an
Here's the links targeted to where they say her name in the RTE concert:

In terms of her last name, many Celtic Woman fans will be familiar Synan O'Mahony. Assuming it's pronounced the same way as his name, it's:
o-MA-hony
... with the emphasis on "ma."
