    Enjoying the summer sunshine at the Bull Wall and Fairview Park in Dublin.
    Whit weekend in 1963 saw the finest weather in years. A general exodus to the seaside and countryside resulted in a record amount of traffic on the roads. There was bumper-to-bumper traffic along the narrow road to Bull Wall in North Dublin as day trippers headed to the seaside to enjoy the summer sunshine. A family relax in deck chairs by their car, people dressed in their Sunday best, and families and children soaking up the sun in Fairview Park.
    The Whit Bank Holiday falls on the first weekend in June and is now generally referred to as the June Bank Holiday weekend.
    An RTÉ News report broadcast on 2 June 1963.

    I used to run around Clontarf in 1993 like this. Mad to think the time between this video and then is almost the same as it is from 1993 to now!

    Ah! The little boys in their blazers and shorts instead of Nike bottoms and T-Shirts. And little girls in frocks. In fact not a piece of clothing in that footage was Nike, Adidas, or Under Armour( Although not sure if they had been around that long,probably not)🤔 Nor a E- Scooter in sight. Those were days.😉

    who remembers the warnings on TV about forest and goarse fires being caused by discarded cigarettes or broken bottles on dry grass in the 1960s summers.

      They weren't too worried about discarding anything that time, look at all the rubbish on the grass in the park!

    George Bernard Shaw said “Ireland is the only open-air asylum in Western Europe being run by the inmates” , mabey not back then but with regards to today I think he may have had a crystal ball .
