I know that How are you? is another way of saying hello without being too religious about it.

Conas atá tú (Mun)
Cén chaoi a bhfuil tú (Con)
Cad é mar atá tú (Ul)
Conas atá cúrsaí leat?
An bhfuil aon scéal agat?
An bhfuil tú go maith?

There's the equivalent of 'Hi' which is Haigh - apparently Hóra is more confrontational.
In Munster there's also - Conas tánn tú/atánn tú? or Conas taoi?

"Haigh" is the most common I hear in Kerry, particularly if the speaker is unsure if the other person speaks Irish or not.
