A cairde,

Is "go rath maith agat" used when someone compliments you, or is there some other phrase for that case?

Is mise,

Carey

I think you mean go raibh maith agat (thank you)- when you say go rath maith agat

Although rath= success.
If you want to use it in a sentence:
guímse go mbeadh rath Dé ar do chuid oibre srl... (etc...)- I pray that you may have the success of god in your work or

you can say:
guímse go mba rath Dé ar do chuid oibre, as well.

Níl mé anseo níos mó, a chairde. Tá IGTF caillte...tachta le fógraí. Feicfidh mé sibh ar an suíomh seo

Yep, you're right about that. I didn't see the typo. "Go raibh maith agat."
