Scope and content
Two copies of a circular announcing the election of a Central Committee for the Language Freedom Movement. Indicates that local branches of the organisation will soon be established, outlines measures that can be taken by local groups ahead of a more detailed statement of aims being announced. In the meantime, the stated aim is 'to promote a realistic approach to the Irish language to remove compulsion and discrimination from the language policy'. The document has been produced by Martin Reynolds and J. McCarthy. The second copy is missing a sheet, but contains some handwritten notes on the back of the page in Christopher Morris's handwriting. These are some working notes about the place of the LFM in Irish Society. The historical importance of the spoken language is addressed in terms of Irish identity, along with recent changes in society - "television, Vatican II and foreign travel have awakened many to the exciting possibilities of Irish thought and action".
