When I was In Conversation with the director (Paddy Breathnach) he told me that he him self could not find a DVD version So he torrented it witch is interesting .
The file I got this torrent from came from a DVD in Australia
But as with all my other movies their only up as I love and want to share Irish Cinema with the world.
