              Statement issued by Coiste an Airgid (Standing Committee) de Chonradh na Gaeilge after their fortnightly meeting on 27 September 1968. The meeting was presided over by Maolsheachlainn Ó'Caollaí, President of Conradh na Gaeilge. The statement follows a referendum held in St. Grellan's Boys National School, Ballinasloe on the medium of instruction, the results of which, it is claimed, were falsified. It refers to attempts made by anti-Irish agitators to split the community of Ballinasloe. It outlines the stance of Conradh na Gaeilge on the use of the Irish language in society. Statistics are given on the number of schools in the state, and percentage of these that are Irish speaking. The statement concludes with a demand for equal rights for Irish speakers in all areas of life, but especially in education. There are some handwritten notes on the document in the handwriting of Christopher Morris of the Language Freedom Movement.

              Press release, an extract from a recent address to Coiste Chathair Átha Cliath de Chonradh na Gaeilge, by Mícheál Mac Aonghusa, member of Coiste Gnó. It refers to the statement issued the previous week, (see G44/1/1/6), and cites the lack of Irish language textbooks, and a fanatical hostile campaign waged against Irish in the schools as reasons for the change from Irish language instruction. Draws on Pádraig Pearse's study on the English education system in Ireland, 'The Murder Machine', arguing that freedom for the individual, and inspiration are both elements that are currently lacking in the current educational system.

              Response to comments made in Dáil Éireann by Fianna Fáil TD Flor.

The response charges those who deny parents' rights through suppression and bullying with bigotry, and states the LFM acts in defence of their rights.

              Four copies of a press release issued in response to recent statements in the press that suggested the Language Freedom Movement played a part in the parents' plebiscite in Ahascragh, Co. Galway. In this press release, the LFM denies involvement, but supports the will of the parents who want to play a part in their children's education. Concludes that compulsory Irish is now a Fianna Fáil policy, with both Fine Gael and Labour having declared they will make Irish an optional examination subject.

              Statement by Patrick Browne, Honorary Secretary of the Language Freedom Movement on the results of the Parish Priests' plebiscite in Ahascragh, stating that the results completely discredited the Gaelic League's plebiscite, and backed up the results of plebiscites conducted elsewhere in Crab Lane, Cork, and in St. John's Park, Waterford. Criticises the plebiscites conducted by the Gaelic League on the basis of not asking the right question, and on not being strictly anonymous.

              Press release responding to a statement made by George Colley, TD in Dáil Éireann on 8 July 1966, and requesting clarification on some issues. Included among these are allegations made in the press that the Language Freedom Movement arranged for a group of its members to attend a Mass in Gaelic, and loudly respond in English. The statement concludes by saying that although the LFM takes issue with some of the content of Mr. Colley's speech, they are not taking part in inter-party politics, and wish to co-operate with all political parties.
