- Henry Street, Dublin, at Christmas is packed with traders and shoppers.
Aonghus McAnally visits Henry Street, Dublin, at Christmas and talks to traders and shoppers. He gets a lesson in selling wrapping paper and meets Brigid Ward, who is keeping up a family tradition of selling wax flowers. - Zábava
That woman selling the flowers is my auntie Biddy, unfortunately she’s not with us today but I know she be sad to see how much our culture has changed in Dublin 💔🇮🇪
Who made the paper flowers dipped in wax? I have never seen anything like that, what a skill
She had a beautiful nature 🌹♥️
a brilliant bit of dublin in the rare aul times ... that are sadly gone , but we'll always remember in our minds & hearts ..
Bring back the old roads miss old Ireland 🇮🇪
@@grlfcgombeenhunter2897 and the old people .. the new generation aren't great
@@wittywoo9559 anything with new in front of it is always no good 👍 bud. 😂
When the girl says shes asking for a "2 in 1". Jesus, that took me back. I remember my cousin getting a "3 in 1", which played ....CDs!!! That was the big time. Brilliant video.
Now a 4 in 1 is a Chinese
Imagine Dublin being like this now such a much nicer place so sad to see what it has become now 😪
Dublin was great place to grow up in back then I miss it sometimes
We had fook all but still beats TF out of today.
Very sad 😢
Love the lady selling (or not) the flowers. She epitomises the spirit of Xmas.
There is nothing like a traditional Dubliners Christmas - even we Culchies come up to Dublin for it - in my case this year, I’m going to try to get home from Manchester to see it and my family in Dunshaughlin Co Meath
Every town used to have characters like this selling and buying and bringing joy, life and laughter to the town. Then, chain stores and corporate shops killed the towns and now, the whole thing has been shut down by the government. Sad 😞
very
Everybody smiling dnt think u would see that today in henry st..and all our own people u ain't seen that today either.. how wrong that lady was it will never change omg it would break your heart to see what our lovely streets have become..
It’s sick what they’ve done bastards
Nearly everyone can see it
But nothing changes.
Ronan whats-his-name?
I grew up in Dunshaughlin Co Meath back in 1985, but my Granny on my Dad’s side was a Liberties Mot, she got me the job in Superquinn Blanchardstown where she lived in Coolemine Clonsilla - I’ve been living in Manchester U.K. for 21 years, where I’ve always held an Irish passport and I came back home to Ireland and to Moore St in August 2022 - I was absolutely horrified by what I saw and from chatting to the far fewer dealers that were there, they told me that they were being forced off both Moore St and the surrounding streets - it’s absolutely disgraceful what’s going on, as the Dublin dealers are the very definition of what makes Dublin what it is for Dubliners, Irish people and visitors to our country alike
makes me and all my lads angry
Your videos are absolute Gold my man the Dublin of my youth☺
Love all these old images of town
Great reminder of my home Dublin been away for 30 us years in US but seeing this blog makes me feel that im still there.
Moore ST , R I P . THE WRITING WAS ON THE WALLS. Not enough cared about their roots . All the Conflicts on this island to have our own culture and it has come to this . The soul of our city Dublin has been replaced with., stuff . This generation is the start of something different, the jury has retired.
@@paul479 Amen!!! Money grabbers all- especially the politicians! The majority of Irish have proven themselves to be willing to prostitute their country and its heritage to make a quick buck! The same ones who drunkenly wave tricolours at football matches while selling the country out make me sick!!! We Irish are now an endangered species in our own land and we only have ourselves (and greedy gombeen politicians) to blame!!!
Import the 3rd world become the 3rd world 🙏🏻🇮🇪🙏🏻
It’s absolutely disgraceful - I came home from Manchester U.K. in August 2022 where I’ve lived 21 years, have always held an Irish passport and I was horrified by what I saw in Moore St - I’m originally from Dunshaughlin Co Meath where I still have family but my Granny was a Dublin Liberties Mot
As a 90's kid I remember wrapping being 5 for feeeeeeeeeeeftyyyy
The lady selling flowers said she loved seeing the dealers coming out over Christmas. Differen't type of dealer nowadays
Yes, with funny accents.
I could cry now ,just to see what the government have done to Henry St, and Moore St ,all the fruit stalls and the couple of fish stalls are all but gone ,it's a shame .
all they were doing is selling shite counterfeit cigarettes and tobacco to the desperately poor . good riddance to the death peddling skanks
@@gerryryan the stalls weren't selling any of that stuff.
@@gerryryan do you need a hug 🤗
It’s a shame full of Chinese stores
I used to play drums in a band in Dublin years ago .. We called ourselves 'The Linden Village Rocket Fuel Band'. Great days..
Love this , brings back great memories 😍
Such an enthusiastic bunch , what the fuck happened our country since
Ah, Roches. Fuck sake, even Debenhams is gone
@D C sadly. There won't be a decent shop or boozer left in town before long. Just Spars, Centras and O'Carolls's.
Jesus paid of my pram in Roches for weeks on my first son memories 😢
Ahhhhh… the old days, wish Ireland was the same… it’s changed so much, not for the better
When Christmas felt like Christmas clearys and Switzerland windows with Santa's workshop and the woodland creatures making the toys unfortunately it's all gone
Mullet city! Happy days! Fast forward to 2020 and see how much has changed.
Treason
Thanks for another trip on the time machine CR. Love the uploads. Class.
And Merry Christmas everyone 🎄🍻
The good old days back in Dublins fair City
Ahh now it's hard to watch some of this 😕
Salt of the earth real Irish Dublin women- it’s like they knew what was coming
"That shouldn't ever be taken away from us. Please God it won't be" 😓
Be hard to find a dubliner in henry st today..😮
Makes me angry
Aonghus was in a celtic rock band called Mushroom. They were playing in Clonmel back in the seventies....I asked them to play Neil Youngs Southern Man and they did!! I used to work in Waterford with his cousin Michael Baldwin, in Chambers and Halleys,accountants
Mc nally was made for this kinda tele ,gifted
Ah the good old days..
I just loved how she said Madonna and Wham it’s so odd to see a young child liking them and it being current music!
Henry Street/ Moore Street should have been protected as a piece of Dublin heritage and the traders supported. Very sad to see it gone
a different time, a time when people watched television as it was being made, instead of in their lounge rooms.
‘Wrrrraaaapiiinn paaaaaappuuuurrrr’ - the good aul days ❤🇮🇪
Back in the good ol days when you actually could hear irish accents in ireland, you go dublin now and its lifeless, everyone keeping to themselves, all taken over by foreign people
So true I have not been in to town in years but I think when rochers stores and clearys went it was never the same I still have China balls from rochers and woolworths when I was young my granny used to buy me a jumping charley now people would say don't say jumping charley I wish they never brought in these foriners
Damn right, its had a knock on effect too, so much harder to find a job and live here now that they are hiring so many migrants that they can pay pennies to while they get free accommodation in our hotels that were meant for tourism. If you aren't aware, look up whats happening in rosslare and also today in Roscrea, protest today because their main hotel has completely been changed to house only asylum seekers and the town was ruined on them. its mayhem, where are the days gone, I'm only 23 but god would I have loved to experience Ireland in the 80s and 90s@@audreyperrin320
I love your channel, every upload is gold. Favourite to date is the buddy holly convention in limerick
are you sure it wasn't just the Proclaimers in town for a gig!
Ah, the old B22 bayonet coloured bulbs. They chewed through electricity. No wonder we were totally broke back then.
Installed every year by a company called Breen Electrical out of Ormond quay.
I like this video keep going 🤠 greeting from Morocco
Gold. Love it.
And poor old Henry Street and Moor Street is gone it is now the United Nations I didn't even go near the city centre this year for Christmas shopping because the Bargains are now gone and the homeliness
Breaks my heart traitors to Eire
"Are ya morto? Scarlehh?"😂 The rare aul times💚
That woman is my nanny 😄 heard her voice for the 1st time in 22 years today filled up with absolute tears of joy 😁
Irish children ,,,,,,the most beautiful of all kids in the world
Ah God, the little girl from Coolock is so cute, is she all grown up now?
No.. She hasn't changed a bit....
When Xmas was exciting on like today .it just gone now
And not one Brazilian in sight.
Where can I get the whole of this video as I had to go to belfast the day it was been shown on tv I remember it been filmed as I was on it but have never seen the whole lot of it,any help in finding it would be much appreciated thanks.
Not a tent in sight

Five for fifty 😉
Angus 🌟👍 ... seven oaks hotel Carlow ... Max Band 😎👍🌟
@1:05....He's a graduate from the RTE school of economics....explains how RTE can lose 2.1 million on a punt. And I did spell that last last word correctly....I wasn't referring to Tubridy or any other of the RTE talent, or even Aonghus. I wonder how he got his job in RTE?
@3:50 The dealers are still coming out at Christmas, and every other day of the year.

Ring a ring a rosie
As the light declines..
@@trevormccarthy9019 I remember Dublin in the rare old times
The Roaring 1980s. that fine young man looks a lot like Jonny Logan, Those were the days when young men wore long flowing locks of wavey hair and did not give a dam, I still have my flowing lock of golden wavey hair, I very often I get the very best compliments from people about my hair, I jokingly say it is a wig then they get embarrassed, some times I forget to explain that is my real hair.
🌍❤☘
Ahhh the good old days. Now the Irish are rare in Dublin City. 20 years of Eu policies has changed Ireland forever!
Couldn't agree more!
Well, not entirely, in places like Monaghan, foreigners are few and far between, Apart from Ukrainian refugees obviously
Keep your xenophobia to yourself, saddo.
They must've emigrated 😃🤷♂️ I mean can the Irish really complain about immigration?
100% correct 👍🏻🙏
Those hair dos 😂
I remember buy rapping paper back in 1985 it cost 20 pounds
i bought rapping paper in the USA, it was a Tupac.
You mean 20 punts back then 🤣🇮🇪🇮🇪😏 😉 🤣
Dunnes in Henry street was small then?
They’re waxed over with wax 😂😂
The government takes what ever the everyday man/ women enjoys, even at Christmas times, lovely post
They thought Dublin was changing in 1985, God bless their hearts, they would have a hear attack looking at it today...benefits of the EU, I suppose, I don't see much...
Nope we need to gtfo asap all doh the damage is done.
What's the interviews name again? I'm probably wrong or not of the right age but is it Seamus mac or similar?
Angus MC Nally I think..
Mc Nally is a genius a regular Albert Einstein'
1:52 Looks like Kurt Russell.
Deleting comments.....shite.
Could be small hats.
Time Capsule 😮 Bubblegum on the go there
Journalist looks like Gordon Ramsay in his young fella days
Angus da Walt
When Dublin was real
That coughing at 0:22, hope its not Coronavirus !
Awh yes a time before hysterical lunatics where running the show and people didn't view each other as a bio hazard. What a time to be alive.
it was probably just a smokers cough, from the cigarettes her doctor prescribed back then.
That woman coughing at 0:20 should be wearing a mask!!
Nobody should be wearing silly masks
No, people had sense back then. Unlike the dopey oxygen-deprived zombies who walk our streets today!
@@bizzjoe 🙏🏻🙏🏻
All being absolutely destroyed now for wokeness
8
Not today since the EU
Where are the masks and social distancing?
Why is Dublin white?
