Possibly! Is "laise" pronouced laish? As I said it's not in any Hiberno-English dictionary I've searched, and seems to be very local even within Ulster. Thanks for all the replies! They're lash!

Took a look at that Cork slang page and although the usage seems to be different it's certainly quite similar.
