I wish we could have etymologies to help us remember really weird looking words like uaireadór! I'm going to have to remember it as a toreador running around with a watch on.
It's uaire (time/hour) and adóir, a suffix meaning "person/thing that does a thing."

Okay, that's awesome! You should be working for these guys. (Unless you already are, of course. In which case, still awesome.)
Have an ingot!

Luckily for me, search engines can point to the definition of a Doofenshmirtz. ;*)

can "uaireadóir" also mean like "Ni ar m'uaireadóir" or is it just the jewlery kind of watch
"uaireadóir" is basically an "hour doer" - it's a time-piece.
"faire" (http://www.teanglann.ie/en/fgb/faire) is the word that you're looking for, a vigil, or a session on guard duty.
