Fans in motion to make Irish version of The Quiet Man

FANS of The Quiet Man film - set in Ireland in 1951 - plan to dub the John Ford classic into the Irish language.

The Quiet Man Movie Club, which has 200 members worldwide, has lined up native Gaelic actors to speak the lines of screen legends John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara.

Irish language agencies Foras na Gaeilge and Údarás na Gaeltachta are ready to fund the project in conjunction with Government-funded station TG4 and independent production company Telegael.
