[Koha] Accents in Irish Gaelic

We are having difficulty with Irish Gaelic - the accents are getting
mangled in z39.50 downloads. Or in some cases it won't work at all
because of the accents.  Are there particular settings I should check?

The same titles at the Library of Congress and the National Library of
Ireland (both set to MARC 8)  look strange on the screen. There are
extra letters in front of the accented letters.  I contacted a
colleague at LC who said these extra letters do not display on their
end.  UTF-8 produces little question marks where the accents should
be, and brings up an error message saying: utf 8 "\xD6" does not map
to Unicode

Which makes me wonder if some of this is due to a browser setting?
(Google Chrome - UK English).

We are running 3.2.6 Apache/2.2.16 (Debian)
