I know it's a month old, but I just came across this.....

Sean nuacht, ach fuair mé é (I have never really figured out the whole 'just' thing i nGaeilge!) Ní bhfuair mé é go dtí cúpla nóiméad ó shin.

As for the other question, you can use tar éis (or thar éis or th'éis) for "just done something":

Tá siad tar éis imeacht. "They have just left."
Ní raibh mé ach tar éis éirí. "I had only just got up."

So perhaps, níl mé ach tar éis teacht air "I've only just come across it."
