We moved into our new house in 1965 when I was 6. Previously we lived in a house with no running water or toilets. My mother would have to go to a water pump at a nearby junction to get a bucket of water and the roof leaked on wet days.

Ireland was in a way blessed not to have industrialised too fast like America. In America meat was already brought irradiated and wrapped in 3 layers of plastic by the 1950s but in Ireland it was still brought in open air markets!!! No wonder irish women looked so healthy and pretty!!!
And then the rural idyll was destroyed in the space of a generation by the EU and corrupt Irish politicians.

@@j377yb33n enlighten me how im spreading lies?
@@j377yb33n how exactly is he/she spreading lies. With that sort sentence you're literally the only one lying. "Mess unvetted immigration" we're accepting thousands of immigrants from a large multitude of countries under emergency status because of the war in Ukraine and the Ukrainians who need emergency accomodation. Hotels, office blocks, even croke park is being used to house them. There's knife fights and general civil unrest on both sides. All of this thrown ontop of our already 11 thousand strong homeless men women and children. I don't know what country or reality you live in but it isn't the green isle of my beautiful county of Ireland and the quicker people like you stop genuinely spreading lies the sooner we can get our country on track again utilise the hundreds of millions of Euros worth of ghost estates to house our own people whove been left to rot, starve and freeze to death for years on end and then we absolutely can focus on helping immigrants we have enough extra resources for.
And then we joined the EU and lost all of our industry.

Wonderful. Most people poor and skint. Early deaths way above the European average (even after the war). Rife with corruption and extreme nepotism. Every good job was got by making good contacts. Family contacts were everything. Apalling wealth distribution and most health needs taken care of in the awful dispensary system (ask nice and we'll think about it). And, of course, the Catholic Church. No need to revisit that horrible history (that keeps on giving today).
..and what about how the travellers were and is treated by all irish
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the II once paid a visit to Republic of Ireland.

Kalergi plan
That’s the funniest of things Irish people were oppressed like Black people but yet Irish hate them the white people didn’t want both of them when The Irish and black people went To America they faced horrible racism then when the Americans finally accepted them they became racist to the Italians who faced racism after the Irish when the Irish went to England they faced the same I don’t get it how Irish people can be racist to a race that was oppressed like them? But I guess hurt people hurt people
Did you even know that when Irish were slaves a lot of them were in Jamaica hence why a lot of Jamaicans have Irish names if you want to be racist do it you have free will but wouldn’t it make more sense to be racist to the people that oppressed instead of people that didn’t? Anyway I want to hear your point of view
This is the Ireland my granda seen the most. He was a long distance lorry driver, from North to South. Hauling from quarries and mines around the country. When he wasn't doing that he was tinkering at home on his bikes or improving the family house that was loaned to them by the salt mine in Kilroot. Never met anyone like him since and I never will. That generation can't be matched, in skill, wit or resilience. They all had an appreciation for simpler things that my generation doesn't have. Their brains weren't rotted by modern tech.
Amen to that brother!
The youth of today have brain rot

I live in Kerry, South of Shannon, and work brought me to the tax concession area recently... It's really grim now, for all the world like a soviet bloc country with aging brutalist apartments, office blocks, and factories. I'm not sure what the economic health of the area is like, but it's a depressing location, unfortunately.
thanks for that update, I was wondering how such 'grand schemes' would play out once the EU got ground.
@@mozdickson the industrial estate and apartment block area in Shannon is pretty ugly (although the newer parts look fairly slick) but the grand scheme was the start of a policy that snowballed and paid off better than anybody could have imagined. We brought in 15bn euro of corporation tax from technology, finance and pharmaceuticals in 2021 up from 11bn the year before.
@@mozdickson Nothing to do with the EU, a lot of Ireland was bleak and depressing decades before Ireland joined the EU.
Most, if not all, of Ireland's shortcomings today are solely due to the Irish government and Irish people.
@@johnfromwales6713 Ireland was beautiful in the 1990s when I grew up as soon as the Euro came in things changed for the worse, flooded with cheap currency low interest rates drove the economy over the cliff which we never really recovered from, next negative interest rates and ecb money printing overdrive gave us the appearance of been rich country but nothing behind it. Ugly wind farms destroying the countryside. Towns changed beyond recognition. Ireland has been destroyed by the EU and only survives because of low corporation tax.

As an Irishman living in the West Coast of Ireland, I must say that whilst we may be "better off" today financially ... But we have paid a very very high price for this increase in our standard of living. Our fishing industry is now decimated, and we are now to all intents and purposes no more than a vassal state of the EU, following every twist and turn of EU foreign policy with a slavish devotion as subservient to foreign interests, multinationals, and whatever Brussels dictates, as was ever the case under British rule. Ireland as we once knew it is fast disappearing I am very sorry to report.
The mainstream irish media WORSHIP the eu and the simpleton sheeple lap it all up.
The politicians are also WORSHIP the eu cabal. My how we have fallen into servitude and Republic politicians and media are no more than slaves to their EU masters.
