The best way I've found is [Alt-Gr] and the key you want. e.g. [Alt-Gr]-[A]
for á and [Alt-Gr]-[****ft]-[A] for Á.
That's available on UK keyboard and Irish keyboard layouts, it's probably
available for US keyboard layouts as well.
Incidentally "ar buile" is mad as in angry. To go crazy cuckoo you'd
normally say you're "craiceáilte"

An slí is fearr, dar liom, ná [Alt-Gr] a úsáid leis an gléas (eochair?)
atá
uait. Mar shample, brúaigh [Alt-Gr]-[A] chun á a scríobh agus
[Alt-Gr]-[****ft]-[A] chun Á a scríobh. Tá sé ar fáil do na méarchláir
(eochairchláir?) Eireannach agus Breatnach, agus tá an-seans go mbeadh sé
ar
fáil do no méarchláir Meirceánach chomh maith.
Dálá an scéal, is duine crusta é duine atá "ar buile". De gnáth, nuair a
théann duine as a mheabhair, déarfainn go bhfuil siad "craiceáilte".
