Scope and content
Two copies of the address of Christopher T. Morris, President of the Language Freedom Movement, at a debate held by the Solicitor's Apprentices Debating Society in Dublin on 20 May, 1968. The motion was 'that Ireland without a national language is not worth living or dying for'. Refers to the UNESCO definition of a national language, and discusses revolutionary history, arguing that being prepared to give one's life for a nation has usually been in defence of social justice, civil liberties, and other such values, ahead of language.
