Early Slaine stories included a reasonably approximate pronunciation, so I wouldn't bet on that!
Not sure where Nick gets "ya" from - unless its a typo for "ay" which is how all the gaels I know pronounce the name. My "Slaw" and his "Shlor" are, I believe, attempts at the same sound, which doesn't really quite translate into English...
Cheers,
Graham
