Common enough in Irish, Doug.

Herewith some minimal pairs:

ghroí (voiced)
chroí (unvoiced)

ghas (voiced)
chas (unvoiced)

ghual (voiced)
chual (unvoiced)

ghoill (voiced)
choill (unvoiced)

ghnó (voiced)
chnó (unvoiced)

Learners (until they develop a good ear for the difference) can make
mistakes to their cost in re the above and similar pairings.

Hope this helps,
mg
