    This man has got an immense talent,
    a voice that in my opinion would rival that of the great late Luke Kelly,I’ve been to Dublin 6 or 7 times in years gone past and if I return with my Brother in future I’d like to take this man out for a night on the beers and here his story.Theres no reason he shouldn’t be making a decent living with the talent he has got!Got Bless you Mick 🇮🇪🙏👏👏👏

      I am afraid he is an exception , The 'old spirit' is gone 95% , If you can remember all the political parties from your time,, they have all sold out completely ... even Sinn Fein has succumbed to the radical left agenda. Dublin has fallen to it, the federal united states of Europe has been embraced by them all, media is compliant or complicit, the "typical dub" is vanishing, freedoms are being eroded and we will soon be the basket case of Europe, our unique island identity taken. I bet even our busker here is moved on often by over zealous Gardai .

The people you think are in charge are only puppets, the central bank systems of the world initiated all this last March. God bless Vince.

      @northsidedub1 I know , certain streets between O'Connell st and north circular are too dangerous to walk, the influx of foreign nationals in that area is scary, all the gangs running riot further out but travelling in on the dart as well. The drugs hell , homelessness.
      I know the true Dubs are still around, I used to pop into the H16 pub 25yrs ago and have lovely chats etc, but not anymore, even the previous owner sold out for his safety.
      But the heads over in the dail won't have to walk home at night.
      I don't live there anymore but I visit , and my daughter pays €800 + utilities for the privilege of a box bedroom off the North circular/Drumcondra area.
      But do u know.. Sligo, Galway, Cork, Longford, Dundalk, Drogheda and lots more are gone as bad... it's shocking how the entirety of our politicians don't care anymore, our culture , unique Irish Society , pubs , fun, safety.... they have shafted us royally .
      I am the only one where I live now that gives the TD's a hard time every time I see them, but they get all offended and start bullshitting about some potholes or bad corner fixed , but it's our life's that are damaged beyond repair. The local lackey tell me to shut up and not be "upsetting" the goons that are there for years and years feeding off the people. Sorry, I have gone on. Cheers buddy.
