    Your best bet is to contact the library at the national council for the blind their address is

    National Council for the Blind
    PV Doyle House
    45 A Whitworth Road
    Drumcondra
    Dublin 9
    http://www.ncbi.ie

    As far as i know you can submit books to them to be put onto tape. As for copywright, i understand that they have to request permission to put the books on tape although they don't get charged for it.

    There may also be a local office of the national council for the blind where one of the staff there might be able to give you more advice.
    I presume that you can't just pick up a Harry Potter book and read it onto a tape and distribute it in St Josephs.

    the NCBI acquired harry potter for recording minutes after it was released. the book (on talking book tape) is availible from the NCBI library. these are four track tapes played at half the speed of normal tapes.

    That being said however, I am unsure as to how mathematics books are dealt with, when I was in josephs, they used braille instead of talking book for maths textbooks.
