asked the Minister for External Affairs if he will consider making available to Irish embassies and offices copies of the films Mise Éire and Saoirse with English-French soundtracks or English-French sub-titles.

I would certainly be glad to consider this if the costs were feasible. As the Deputy will know, there are at present no versions with English-French sub-titles or soundtracks. My Department is at present in contact with Gael Linn to see what the possibilities are in this direction. I might mention that a short film entitled Irish Rising has been made by Mr. George Morrison for the Department of External Affairs incorporating material from Mise Éire, with soundtracks in English, French and German.
