How do you pronounce the name of the Irish monastery Clonmacnois?

Thanks in advance.

How do you pronounce the name of the Irish monastery Clonmacnois?
Klon-mack-noys (using English type phonetics) the final sound being [s] rather than [z]. In Irish, it's Cluain Mhic N贸is (Kloon vic no. ish) and means Meadow of the Sons of N贸s.
