Dia dhaoibh a chairde,

I've recently set about collecting materials to aid learners in learning Irish pronunciation. I today received a copy of Bunchúrsa Foghraíochta, first published in 1966. In the introduction, reference is made to an accompanying record. I don't know how much material was on the record, but for the sake of completeness I'd love to get a hold of the recordings!

So, does anyone have or know where I could find the recordings?!

Míle buíochas,

Suairc

I would suggest contacting Irish libraries. They often have copies of such recordings. In particular, I think the University libraries of UCC, UCD, NUIG, TCD and NUIM would be good bets.

Thanks for the suggestion, it wouldn't have crossed my mind to look in the library for such an old record but it appears TCD does have a copy. I'll see how I get on!

BUMP!

The audio for Bunchúrsa Foghraíochta has recently been uploaded to Soundcloud by Foras na Gaeilge and can be heard here:
