The late sixties and 1970s....Irish society hit the sweet spot. The economy was on the up....wages were rising, and there were lots of good-paying industrial jobs around. Crime was practically non-existent by today's standards. Communities were still incredibly cohesive. The summers were glorious. And those charismatic people who lived through two world wars were still around.
Of course, there was a hidden darkness.....but it was hidden.
Then the 1980s hit.......and everything went to shit.

Horrendous music, spoiles the video

[@gerardcagney1578]

Thank you uploader. What a poor decision it was to build on Wood Quay site.

Having 'footageforpro' in the middle of the screen for the duration of the video renders it unwatchable. BIG FAIL.

[@fintanoneill2493]

Thanks for uploading this, very interesting!

[@Footageforprocom]

[@maykearns1317]

In your face Apple and Tesla - Cahill’s had self driving cars back in the 60’s! Also love the blue skies, been a while since one of those was around.

[@rosesareredmydear]

Lol, Cahils lead the way!

[@stihlms400cm3]

Great footage, but the music is way off, more suited to New York City !

[@deeppurple883]

The camera man must have been 6ft 6 and always on the top deck of the tram. Most of the clip was overhead skywards. I think more colourful back then but also hidden decay.

Better days

[@johnkilcullen1051]

Really? Emigration was still high. We had brutal industrial schools, Magdalene laundries, mother & baby homes, hidden sexual abuse. Do you that was better?

[@nancyduran76]

Bravo Bravo me encanta!! 👏

[@gerrylawler]
