I think the Irish say slainte' or something like that.
Here are some others:

"In many cultures, toasting is common and to not do so may be a breach of etiquette. The most common toasts either have "good luck" or "good health" as the one-word theme. Examples include:

"Gesondheid" (South African Afrikaans)
"Ya mas" (Greece)
"Prost" (Germany and German-speaking places)
"Proost" (The Netherlands)
"Schol" (Flanders)
"skál" (Iceland).
"Sk?l", in English often spelled Skoal, (Denmark, Norway, Sweden and parts of Finland)
"Kippis" (Finland)
"Santé" (France and Québec)
"Sláinte" (Ireland and among speakers of Scots Gaelic)
"Iechyd Da" (Wales)
"L'Chaim" (Israel and Jewish communities worldwide)
"Salute" and "Cin cin" (Italy) (or "Tin tin" in Brazil)
"Saúde" (Portugal and Lusophone countries)
"Salud" (Spain and Hispanic countries)
"Kanpai" (Japan).
"Na zdrowie" (Poland).
"?erefe" (Turkey).
"Salut!" (Catalan) or "Salut i For?a al Canut!"
"Noosh!" (Iran)
