    Sorry I can't help. I saw it at the time and it was most interesting. Have you tried TG4? Have you a particular interest in the Redlegs?

    You'd have to contact TG4. Radharc also did a programme in 1976 on them as can be seen in full below -

    tommy the Red Legs of Barbados are white, not the same as the Black Irish of Montserrat, though they have both been in the Caribbean since the16th century. Irish were exiled to both islands, mainly by Cromwell as slaves. In Montserrat some of the Irish slaves eventually became slave owners themselves, and gave their surnames ( and, it is said, the Irish language ) to their African slaves.

    Correction : For 16th century read 17th century.
