It should be:

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam: May his soul be at God's right hand.

No you're not...that's quite correct.

dublintoffee, "ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam/a hanam/a n-anam" is the Irish EQUIVALENT of "rest in peace," but it doesn't MEAN "rest in peace." As both Seán and I have said, it means "may his/her/their soul be at God's right."
