I'm pretty certain that the Gaelic for "mummy" is "mammy" but that may not be the correct spelling.
For friendly translations of Gaelic visit the link below - it's a very useful service indeed.
I went and checked on the site below on your behalf, and the word is said mammy but written "mamai".
"Mamaí" is "Mommy/Mummy" and "Mother" is "Máthair." You can also say "Meabh" which is said like "Ma".

If by 'mummy' you mean a mummified body the Irish word for it is - Seargán.
If you mean the informal word for mother it is - Mamaí.
Mamaí is spelt - Mhamaí - if you use 'Mo' or 'A' in front of it.
'Mo' - my or 'A' - possesive adjetive.
