  • We ask the ladies of the Liberties to tell us what is in their gigs (shopping trolley).
    -------------
    A series of 12 crafted short films, each focuses on a different character within Dublins Liberties community. It has been described as the documentary film equivalent of a portrait gallery.
    
The Liberties captures the character and unique humour of the people who live there. The documentary celebrates ordinary lives well lived in The Liberties - Tailor Eugene Fagan sews in a button for an 80 year old customer as they chat; Meath Street butcher Declan Larkin carries quartered cattle into his shop at dawn; Flower Ladies, Phyllis Kavanagh and Mary Hand judge passers by on Meath St; Theyre not going to buy flowers, Theyre not going to buy flowers. Brenda Fricker polishes her Oscar at home, just off the Coombe and recounts the comment from friends; What are you doing living up there, Brenda, Youll be murdered, Youll be killed.

The film was shot, produced and directed by Shane Hogan and Tom Burke and edited by Tom Burke. Original music composition was by Gerry Horan. Audio post-production was by Kevin Breathnach at Avondale Studios. Titles were designed & produced by Lorcan Finnegan and Brunella Cocchiglia at Lovely Productions. The series of films was originally funded by the Arts Council under the Once-Off Project Award in 2008.

      Ah I am sure she gave you absolutely everything. Brilliant Christmas, birthday,leaving money, debs night, disco night, and whatever day if the week your ma was there.. I can just smell your house with dinner on... nothing like your ma's cooking eh? She was great craic.. and chatterbox at best. Bless her beautiful soul and bless your sweet heart.
      I dont have that kinda shopping around me so I know very well how great the shopping for the messages are down there. Big shops like Tesco and Dunnes haven't a patch on the local stuff. My own mammy would pop into town and get us the best of stuff in town and come home with loads of goodies for us 5kids. Love them days. Love them.
      Have a wonderful day and God bless.. 🍀👉☕

    Use to sit in the front of my nanny’s trolley as she would wheel me across Newmarket, I remember Newmarket being a wasteland with a path through. All the way up Meath street she would chat and meet other woman she knew. Good memories

    This weirdly made me sad. Until watching this video I never noticed how I don’t see old women like this anymore with their trolleys. I suppose it’s the evolution of older people

    Wish we could have those times back.They were the best. For those who have passed from this world they would turn in their graves to see this crap going on in the world today. We need to get back to proper normality.
