    Just wondering if anyone else sat through these in Irish class in the early/mid 80s?We regularly watched projector slides which mainly followed a brother and sister a bit like Tom And Nora from the textbooks.I can only really remember two in any detail.One showed the brother and sister and another girl(the sisters friend I presume) walking to school.As the story progressed frame by frame the two girls were making fun of the boy because he had long hair.One frame had them suggesting he thought he was a pop star and showed him on stage with big sunglasses.At the end he gets a haircut from his mother who gives him a severe short back and sides while he looks in horror in a mirror.The other story showed a group of Arabs and had something to do with the sale of oil.One of them was holding out his hand and an unseen person was handing him money while pound signs were appearing in the background.I think the whole series may have dated from the 70s as the above frame may have refered to the oil crisis of the early 70s and the story about long hair seemed to fit this period too.

    I just remember having to endure endless Irish language overheads.... something concerning a Thistle Guinea-Duck...whatever that is.

    Looks very familiar even though it must be nearly 30 years since I've seen it.
    I hated those. (And I like Irish)
    Our teacher used to make us all stand up by the wall when this was part of our lesson and she was invariably angry.

    I remember that one about the Fianna. I'd forgotten how bad the artwork was.

    I vaguely remember thinking that that was the horse's name...

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I remember this too. Some of these panels were downright surreal.

    I absolutely hated learning Gaeilge in Primary schoo...that awful projector! Having said that, my primary standard of Irish played a big part in me getting an honour to enable me teach now so I am grateful. In our school we use an interactive programme called Bua na Cainte and all the children love it.

    I remember these slides too. One I particularly remember which wouldn't be PC today was about 'Na Tincéirí'. And the teacher asked the whole class 'An mhaith leat bheith i d'thincéir?'. This was in the early 80s.

    I was listening to the Lyric FM documentary yesterday about cult Irish musician Michael O Shea and theres a link with the Colm Agus Nuala slides and the 80's Dublin punk scene. The slides were produced in Alto Studios in Robert Emmet House, heres an article by Paul McDermot who produced the documentary.

    Is that figure on the right supposed to look like a disappointed Rosemark Scallon, or is it just a conincidence?!

    Does look a bit like Dana during her late 70's feathercut period.

    Did no one else have to endure the weekly story depicted with paper cut outs of characters, stuck onto a felt sheet with velcro?

    Usually printed in monochrome of various hues. Still going well into the 90s! A projector must have been too fancy for us.
