I can reliably inform you that this was made in 1996 by myself and two others through Tallaght Artsquad on a budget of 73p. It was distributed to schools in the area along with an accompanying workbook.
Thanks for the info, and nice job for a budget of 73p haha. I picked up the VHS from Old Bawn Community School library in 2008 so that'd make sense. I just presumed it was 1991-ish era
@@cosdrag8807 A work colleague brought this to my attention yesterday after stumbling across your post. I’ve not seen it for 25 years or more so thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Born and beaten in Millbrook Lawns in '71. Unfortunately moved out in '83. I love looking at these old videos of the old town. Saint Maelruins was my old primary school from '76. Think it opened I'm '75. Sean Rafferty was principal of the senior school and Ms Gelolgy, probably spelled that wrong, was principal of the junior side, little blast from the past for anyone reading that. Original number on the house we lived in was 367 Millbrook Lawns which later changed to 49 The Wood, due to the seriously major expansion back in the late '70s and wanting to differentiate between the roads. There was a shop which was where pretty much everyone went to buy their groceries, HG Williams. It's now gone unfortunately which is called progress. I sometimes drive through it and laugh and smile, thinking of the people who lived and shaped my life and so many others. Rest in Peace to those gone, my class and friends and people I knew are the aul one's now, but that's absolutely fine, I am happy, in a good place and I'm now a father. ( Jesus lads, some idiot put me in charge of human lives. ) and I've shown my kids places I've talked to them as they were growing up. In their opinion, it's a cool town, possibly humoring an old man, but regardless of them, my memories and what shaped me and what shaped me was Tallaght, and that makes me extremely happy for some reason.
You went to St. Maelruains? Me too! ^-^

Walking the paths of the dodder by Ahearns pub.
Thanks for sharing your memories.
When life was so much more simpler. I'm in Tallaght since 81..My Father is from Bohernabreena and My Great Grandmother was from Balrothery long roots in Tallaght ❤
In mid 1969 my Employers were under consideration by the Irish Biscuits Board to manage the design and construction of their new production facilities at Tallaght mentioned in the film. Thus my first visit was to Interview the owner of the potential site who as a leading Building Contractor would be IB's first choice for the construction of the Plant. The day started with an interview with the Contractor/ landowner to whom my Senior colleague was determined to give a hard time. We were taken to see his previous work on Dublin Docks at which time he pointed to the various skylines and listed projects by British Contractors that had substantially failed. Message there then. Lunch at Bishop Street was next with him and the IB team, then we raced down to Tallaght in his DS19, through the gate and across a field to a horse trough where the Contractor pointed out his racehorse tethered nearby. 'Worth more than the fields' we were told. As the fields were fairly level and big enough to build a 200,000 Sq Feet factory there was not much choice for the IB Board to buy the site, employ the Contractor and happily employ us to handle the project. Thus was the commencement of a great project and for me a career boost.
Reminds me of the rave scene driving around out of it in tallaght here since 1975
Wonderful oral history of the area. Brilliantly captured in what’s now a retro style. Love it.
Thanks for posting and I’m sorry I’ve only just discovered this.
