Loved Saturdays going in to town with me ma as a child,if you were good and lucky ,you got fruit in a brown paper bag for the bus home ❤
If eamon was alive today he would be in shock at what the so called Irish government have done to our country. Moore Street full of roma Albanian gangs on Henry Street. Talbot Street full of Africans and other non nationals. Our country is destroyed 😢
I remember my Gran an old dub bring me to moor street and a kind soul with big blue lips would kiss me and I loved her I seen nothing strange in this beautiful old Dublin legend. We have loosed much and gained little in kindness.
your lovely little Irish developers had a plan to flatten everything behind the Carlton, anything that wasn't a protected structure. All those shops were offered to rent cheaply with short leases of 18 months, the expected time left before they were demolished. Lovely little Irish business people avoided these unfair terms so they were available to the Nigerian community, who took them. And when the plan for Dublin Central ran out of money the project was halted and the leases kept rolling. The lovely little developers had no respect for your romantic view of Dublin, they were planning on ripping down everything they could between O'Connell St and Moore St. So you can complain to them, not the foreign business people they were happy to exploit.
@@speakertreatz foreign business people my boloks ,there all over the country left rite and centre,it's nothing to do with short term leases your away with the birds
@@speakertreatzA combination of global capital, cheap money, housing bubbles, and the mass migration of cheap labour and you get the soul, sense of community, and pride of place ripped from Dublin, and places like it, as people become commodified along with everything else around them.

Im a brummy my mom born corporation buildings north inner city 1938 my dad born in the coomb south inner city,1935, came to england 1960' thay had 11boys 1daughter over 50 grandchildren and great grandchildren, proud DUBLINERS ,the names. BROGAN, UP THE BRUMMIE DUBS
The women playing football brought back memories, i played GAA . Ye could have stood in the pot holes and not be seen! The length of the grass and the deer poo! 😂😂😂. Oh yeah and the cow poo! 😂😂
Eamonn was right that containers destroyed alot of working class shipping and docker jobs. Nothing like the numbers of jobs being destroyed by AI right now. That might be ok global population is reduced from 8 billion to 2 billion, then it might be sustainable. Its not now.
When I was a kid I saw game shows that had a trip to Ireland as the grand prize. I always thought how boring. Now that I know how beautiful the country and the people are I would give anything to have seen it in those days, not sure now but any country that produced Eamonn Mac Thomais and Rory Gallagher is the country for me.
. Don't follow the worldly trends follow Jesus Christ today There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus
James Joyce would be sickened if he walked Capel st today. It was full of men clothes shops for sure..but today it is known as queer st and not a car is allowed to travel it and no Irish Man would allow himself to be seen walking it.
Eamon was before his time. If Dublin tours had people like Eamon today they would have the master on Dublin history. Every school should have these films shown to them. They would be great, so much has changed in Dublin since these were made. A great introduction to a new generation of Dubliners😮. ☘️✌🏻
Swimming at the boats as we called it before the tole bridge was built moved to rings end when I was 4 in 1981 but still not a ringsender after living there for 43 years oh to be a proper raytowner
I was born in Dunlaoghaire but raised in Australia from the age of two. I love listening to the accent as it reminds me of my late father.. Lots of love from Australia.
I am an Spaniard immigrant that has raised a family at the Liberties and I feel proud of having lived there ... Great place and better people, I wish fish were more mainstream these days
Well this is a blast from the past. Am from Stoneybatter myself. Went to Brunner. Not only that but I actually remember when that school shot was taken, around 1977 I'm guessing? I was at the retirement mass for Paddy Crosbie which took place in Aran Quay church. I could literally write a book about my life there. Sold newspapers in Arbour Hill church in early 80s, (illegal today as I was only 10/11!), had a part time job in Smithfield Fruit Market. Joe Wickham looks very young in this footage. He was the bosses son. They made a fortune when they sold up in the mid 90s. Apartment and hotel stands there today, I think. So many good memories. Of friends and family now long gone unfortunately. And here I am in north east Syria tonight watching this on the CZcams. Its an amazing world we live in today compared to then. Thanks for uploading this. Ten years ago!!
I grew up going to this part of Dublin in the 1980’s - you could feel the Dublin of 1916 and before all around and imagine you were there but there was decay and poverty but many of the communities of “real” Dubs were lovely proud people and the essence of the City - I think that Dublin is gone now for better and worse - my initial reaction is that Dublin City Council permitted extensive demolition of areas in the North Inner City that have robbed the area of much of its character and soul but in reality much of it was crumbling and beyond saving anyway.
In most cases that's WHY they gave the go-ahead to demolish areas like North Lotts, those building couldn't be used for anything. The apartment blocks that went up in their place, on either side of Lotts Lane allowed people to rent a new, safe apartment right in the city centre. I was one of them. I lived in Liffey Walk developments in 2003. More people living in town meant more spending in town. When you weigh that up against the romantic appeal of looking at useless condemned buildings there's no comparison. I think in this day and age I'd like to believe DCC would insist on more sympathetic redevelopments. The irony is so many of the new developments in that area are named after the original industrial buildings and exploit their heritage. The test for DCC will be the 'Dublin Central' development at the Carlton end of O'Connell Street.
Ah yes ! Love it
Born in Holles Street Hospital myself back in 1962 , a teenager when this film was made, these old films are a pleasure to watch. National treasures.

Delightful programme. Delightful people. Times now gone.
I'd 2 aunts that were street dealers, proper salt. 💚
I hope he enjoyed a ice cold pint or two and his ham sandwiches or as we call them.... Hang sandwiches... A legend.

Moving Jarvis St Hospital out to Beaumont took so much out of the local economy.
Loved the Gate. Two rows of seats for 1 shilling each so fabulous plays and acting available to everyone. RIP Micheàl and Hilton.
Full of foreign phone shops, oh how far we have fallen, Michael Collins would turn in his grave
Irish Lives Matter
Good man Thomas god be with you and your lovely son you both gave us so much.❤
He'd die if he was to see Moore st now , Romanian central and black phone shops , what happened to my lovely little country(

Looks like Philadelphia architecture.
Cows in the park
This was emotional to watch, great
This is 1978/79..the full series is on youtube and the credits have 1978 at the end..a personal view of dublin..
There's no doubt about it, Eamonn was a mine of information !

You sound fragile, I walk down it often.

This was made in 1983.
Raised in School Street flats, it's crazy looking at the liberties back in the day they really did have it good.
Ah Jinny Joes. Most kids now wouldn't know what you're talking about.
The aul Dublin accent, a thing of beauty. Ordanges and Chapelizard. Great stuff!
The part at 14:20 with the youngwans is gas.....
Mm those river heads shown on the frontage of the Custom House appeared on the earliest Irish currency notes.
Lovely Dublin. In Those Days..
Nice To Have These Old Clips.....
I was born in Dunlaoghaire but raised in Australia from the age of two. I love listening to the accent as it reminds me of my late father.. Lots of love from Australia.
Does anyone know the name of the piece of music that begins at 0.31 seconds?
