Thats fkn great 1st class not a track suit or hoodie in sight. The two girls at the start doing the Saturday night fever dance look cool just thought I'd mention it
Love it! I was 6 then.....I was 22 when I met Raymond Hart "Harter" scoring hash in Joseph's Mansions....the 5 spots & 10 spots....I wouldn't be surprised if he's somewhere in this clip...RIP Pal!
@@paulmcdonough1093 You ever notice how people in the country are always fucking moaning about Dublin, but yet, you never hear, barely ever, anyone here talking like that. Half of my family are from the country, and most of the people in the country are very nice people. Its you and your little tribe of hillbillys, probably on the dole. You don't know shit, Dublin makes almost all the money in Ireland. We're very nice people and i wont take that shit from any man and i'm not going to hate country people just because of some pigeon like you. Parts of Dublin are very poor and run down, parts of it are dumps yeah...but so what, that's nothing got to do with you though is it?, don't you worry. There's an old saying, ''the map is not the territory''.
I was in single digit age at this time. I still remember those years well, the summers, we had two or three very good summers! I remember thinking this must be the norm for summers! How wrong I was lol
At 27 seconds in, the white wooden porch top over the front door on the corner house in the background was "MAYVILLE" I think? I used to cycle from Portmarnock to Jones Road Johnston Mooney & O'Brien's depot for my summer and weekend job as a van boy in 1981, at 14 years of age. Remember passing that house each time on the way there and back. In addition, one of the Bread Men lived in the back of there, I can't remember his name but he was youngish back in 1981, had a semi-cleft palate if I remember, and the nicest guy you could imagine. I wonder if anyone recognises him from my description... he had a killer sense of humour, from what I remember..
What was his age in 1981? I was 13 in 1977 and used to go to the Dubs matches in Croke Park (for a bit of barney against the culchies). I remember a bloke who was a couple of years older than me and went to all of the matches on the terraces of the Hill and had a cleft palate and a "mot" who he brought along with him. He was definitely from the Ballybough area because he was always with blokes who were from there. Sorry - that's the best I can do but the cleft palate was distinctive
Such a simple vid - really captured the moment ... loved the soundtrack to it too, good job on that. Its not 'Joe Duffy' from RTÉ Radio who shot it tho' - I just heard that on RTÉ radio 26/06/2013 a few minutes ago, which is how I ended up here.
Yes was just thinking same thing..1978 movie camers xxxxx expensive very few had them ..i was 16 then funny looking at clothes fashion the long hair.. i see drinking and smoking has not changed yet life different among teens.. nice video reminder..nice to have found it and uploaded it.most of those people in late 50s or early 60s now
I grew up in this area in the earlier 80's. Could anyone please tell me where to find the exact version of The Cliffs of Duneen thats playing in the second half of this video?
The Last Rose of Summer. Love this song.

I was in Germany at the time 15. I loved Europe and these young people in this video looked and acted like us.
The time before Drugs tore the area apart.
A grèať piece of history
Love it!

Today the name of Ballybough is synonymous with....of 🤕
someone in Ballybough in 1978 with a video camera ,RTE must have had bad security back then
It's an 8mm movie shot on a cine camera. Stil a fairly expensive piece of kit back then but certainly not what was being used by RTE.

Before Victories? Was that Victories the dance in Ballymun, by any chance?
I grew up in this area in the earlier 80's. Could anyone please tell me where to find the exact version of The Cliffs of Duneen thats playing in the second half of this video?
Ireland full of irish people, Before Drugs
And social media,
@urbanstroller Unfortunately, there were both tracksuits *and* Heroin in 1970's Dublin. .
Maybe so but not to the extent of the 80’s. The tracksuit comment is just ridiculous.

Six pack of harp before u go up da blind incident days
