Can someone translate the Irish in the film "The Wind That Shakes The Barley"?

Early in the film before Michael O'Sullivan is killed by the Black and Tans he says something to them in the Irish language. Part of what he says is his name but I don't understand the rest. Could any Irish speakers out there translate it for me?

Thanks

    He say his name in Irish, Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin (mee-haul o -soolehwan), then he shrugs and says that's my name, Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin. I can't catch the last part, their accents are strong and there are four versions of Irish in Ireland. It might be 'fuaidh se' which means 'he says', but I can't be sure
