Common enough in Irish, Doug.
Herewith some minimal pairs: ghro� (voiced) chro� (unvoiced) ghas (voiced) chas (unvoiced) ghual (voiced) chual (unvoiced) ghoill (voiced) choill (unvoiced) ghn� (voiced) chn� (unvoiced) Learners (until they develop a good ear for the difference) can make mistakes to their cost in re the above and similar pairings.
