"Euro aah...it's Paul McGrath" International soccer star, Paul McGrath, got help on the euro from students when he promoted a special information pack which is currently being distributed to every primary and secondary school in the country, today (Thursday, 1st November). He also launched a public information video on the changeover. The information pack includes euro posters, a new information video and a leaflet showing euro notes and coins for each student. Mr Philip Hamell, Chairperson of the Euro Changeover Board of Ireland, said that the aim of the information pack was to provide resource materials on the euro for teachers and a leaflet to every pupil in the country. "We regard students and young people as an important group in helping to inform their parents about the euro. We feel it is vital therefore, that every student at primary and secondary level has the relevant information. The new public information video incorporates the most up-to-date information on the changeover with practical information on notes and coins, the value of the euro and what will happen from 1 January next" he said. The public information video "When the penny drops" is available in English, Irish and in a signed and subtitled version. It is being distributed to government departments, local authorities, health boards, public libraries as well as to community and voluntary groups.  Information on the euro is available from the Euro Changeover Board of Ireland's LoCall number 1890 20 10 50 or its website at  www.euro.ie
