I wouldn’t use U+02BC MODIFIER LETTER APOSTROPHE in the Anglicized form of Irish
names. The Irish-language spelling is of course quite different, but even then I
wouldn’t use U+02BC; e.g., the Anglicized “O’” corresponds to the Irish “Ó ”.

A quick Google search suggests that U+02BC is used for ejective consonants in
IPA, and in some languages such as Bodo, but I do not know why U+02BC would be
used for Anglicized Irish names.
