Ah, now yuir mentionin' one o' me favorite Irish-dialect movies!  And I have
the original reference...it's based on the book, "Secret of the Ron Mor
Skerry," by Rosalie K. Fry.
I've been on the lookout for more movies in the Irish and Scottish
dialect-field to improve my storytelling/persona voice.  Could anyone list
some more?  I've seen several movies with non-dialect speakers attempting
dialects, but having been to the Isles, I'd much rather hear it from original
sources (in the movies).
