- Self proclaimed Beggin Ass Valentine Bolger plies his trade outside the Guinness Storehouse and laments the passing of industrial Dublin.
-----------
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. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
It's Ollie Bolger I believe , Ollie had a yard just a few doors from the Old County Bar , Crumlin. God be with the day's. Never known him as Valentine, but there you go.
"If ya haven't got anyting up yer sleeve your finished ☘👍
"Too many foreigner's,too many cars" haha the legend that is Ollie Bulger. "It's gone,everything is finished...all gone even Jacobs remember them?? They made the biscuits" hahaha classic.
rip uncle ollie xx
RIP , part of old dublin gone forever
We use to slag Ollie, we use to call him hungery Ollie. Money mad, Millionair and wouldn't spend Christmas. Long dead, I think he burried his horse beside him. RIP Ollie, another bit of Liberties gone, his spirit still walks the cobblestones of Guinness Brewery. 👊🍀
Hey, I thank you for uploading this. It´s unbelievable, I were with a friend on holiday there and I´ve seen Valentine. We drove with him from the Guinness Store to St. Stephans Green. All people on the road have laughed... It was crazy but very funny...!
A good man.
Love the whole series. Thanks for posting it. Made me nostalgic for Dublin. I lived there for a year in the late 70's while a visiting student at UCD. I lived just south of the Liberties near Harold's Cross.

Vally Bolger was from Kildare road Crumlin one of his brothers was Cruncher " Ill Crunch ya wit me nut" Bolger . Valley had millions
Requiescat in pace, dear Valentine! The last trip with his horse buggy goes to heaven (or hell...). Does anybody knows, how old he was?
xXHoffnungxX Well at the start of the video he said he was 73 and that was in November 2009,so if he was alive today in November 2017 he would be 81,but reading the comments shows he died 5 years ago,so he was around 76 when he died.
I remember seen that guy with the horse and cart around the liberties daily. A millionaire he was
@AreamanProductionthought you might like to know he died this morning,R.I.P ollie as we knew him.
Captions would be handy
He might have been born in Crumlin but his parents were from Cavan. A millionaire who wouldnt give you the steam of his piss.
Moaning about foreigners and he was a multi millionaire!!
He wasn't a bad looking guy in his day,R.I.P.
His brother was Cruncher
If the people who were handing him coins only knew how loaded he is ha...He's an awful chancer haha...I love oul Ollie

Making a show of Ireland, begging, unwashed and unshaven. Soap and water are a very cheap commodity. You can only have pity for the poor horse.
