    'Ariamh' can be used in both cases as well. You can see both uses here in this article:

    http://www.galwayhookerassociation.ie/default.asp?contentID=605

    For 'never':

    '....nach raibh aon fhaitíos air ariamh inti'
    and
    'Ní fhaca mé ariamh fuar ná folamh iad'

    and 'always':

    'Bhí sí againn ariamh'

    Correct answers already given.
    Just to add that in the future tense
    'A choíche' can be said for 'ever/never'
