In Australia it's pronounced Kahil, if you were talking to Timmy and said Cahill -he'd say it's actually Kahill.

who is right?

On the Tipperary hurling team over the past 10/15 years there have been a good few Cahill's playing , you don't pronounce them like "Kayhill" around there!

Tim CaHILL pronounces it like that.

The Darren O'Dea(day) pronouncing is actually pretty widespread. They pronounce it O'Day in the States as well as in Oz.
 
Another one is Fahey, or Farhey as they say over there.

What pisses me off most of all is that the majority of British sports commentator's call Ireland "island" Angry

Yes.


that d be awful funny if you met liam gallagher and politely told him they cannot pronounce their own name .i could imagine liam using an oscar wilde quip to counteract your comment.....or more than likely tell ya to fcuk off
