See also Thosaigh Iarchonnachta (Irish) when these were launched on-line in May 2016. Publishing on-line was partly inspired by Seán Ó Cualáin's  film, "An mar a chéile muid?"  on TG4 which explored success and failures of the Gaeltacht Civil Rights Movement in the late sixties and early seventies.

    A dhuine uasal,
    An mbeifeá in ann rá linn conas gur ndeachaidh tú i dteagmháil le Deasún Fennell agus tú ag lorg a cheadúnas chun na téacsanna seo a aithfholsiú ar do shuíomh?
    Táimid ag cuir suíomh poiblí le chéile darbh ainm Cartlann.org, a mbaileoidh téacsanna éagsúla ó údair a ghlac rólanna iomráiteacha i bhforbairt an ngluaiseacht náisiúnach tharr na mblianta, agus bheadh suim mór againn téacsanna Fennell a chuir leis.
    Tugann muid cuireadh duit freagra a sheoladh dúinn ag ancartlann@outlook.com (níl séimhiú ann) agus cuairt a thabhairt ar an suíomh é féin más mian leat.
    Go raibh míle maith agat roimh ré,
    Dáithí.
