An Irish mutation Question

I will now use the Celtling list for my own personal needs.

This may be elementary, but if two adjectives follow an Irish
feminine singular noun, is the second one also Lenited.

I'm thinking of something like -

bo/ bhan mho/r 'a big white cow' (assuming that's correct)

I know the 2nd adjetive is Lenited (or Soft Mutated) in Welsh, but
can't find any examples in Irish. Input any other Celtic language
would be appreciated as well.

Go raibh maith agat/Diolch
