Through the Liberties he continues on Francis Street with its auction rooms and antique shops, the Tivoli Theatre, and the Iveagh Market where, "You can get anything from a pair of cowboy boots, a straight pair of cord jeans, or you can get Grandad shirts by the thousand. The Iveagh is worth a visit any day of the week." - บันเทิง

Excellent stuff. Dublin used to be such a great city
Now it's not even Irish it's a globalist shithole to expensive for for people born and raised there to live
It was, in our imagination. It was so run down, it was embarrassing. I was a sixties baby and grew up in the city centre. I lived both side's of the liffey. The city was, past decay it was neglected. The poverty and unemployment was everywhere. It had the look of a dead English mining town. Cold, Gray dilapidated depressing everywhere you went. This was Dublin up until the 1990. A 180, we are in the top ten richest countries. We are also third safest country on the planet. Our population has grown from three and a half to nearly six million in decade. Success for many but still poverty, homelessness and other creese to be ironed out. 🤩
@@deeppurple883 It was the people, the characters that made Dublin not the buildings nor the wealth.
I'm not sure what index that is in but Dublin city definitely not safe anymore.
My Dad lived in Francis St for a while. His house is now Liberty Cafe and I was lucky enough to go in for a coffee recently and sit in the room that my Dad likely played in in 1922. Eamonn talks just like my Dad did. Wonderful memories and I truly love the history of Dublin as I grew up in Kilmainham.
I was only thinking about him yesterday, saw him on RTE as a child.
He and his Dublin are long gone.
I remember and im not 50 yet..
@Irelandiscorrupt1 I was the talking about myself as I child.
@@oldtimer5283 I’m 52.
I remember that Dublin a few pints and fish and chips on the way home and me ma loved a spice burger be home by 11.30pm safe and sound, great days
I live in limerick but I love Dublin so much I take every opportunity to visit Dublin its so unique full of life
Roads without markings, bicycle lanes, traffic lights and steel poles topped with unnecessary signs is so relaxing.
And cctv everywhere.
@@Captain_Lockheed aye!
Love that jacket, shirt and tie :-)
I love the 70s footage of Dublin. The style was very apparent, something that was blown away by the crap jumper era of the 1980s
Haha do u mean red jumper and jeans i was a teenager in 80s from wicklow but first job was in buttercust, bread 🍞 up at 4 in morning finish at 9 ha how life has changed
my cousins lived in 8 long lane I loved the place. The people were warm . friendly and very very witty

That's an accent you don't hear much of anymore. I was just doing some research on the Liberties going back to the mid 1700s: that place has some history.
Great trip down memory lane
Great stuff, love seeing the old clips of Dublin. I live near there and for me it's still a great city. Its has its problems, like all major cities but overall its a friendly and safe enough place.
what happened my lovely Dublin😢
Mass uncontrolled migration has ruined it
Globalism.... 😕😕
The rare aul times. 💚🇮🇪
He’s certainly taking a liberty with that matching shirt and tie.
You heathen :D
great stuff, keep it up
Jasus the town has turned into a right fuckin kip.
I think many people really are missing their youth instead the old Dublin, I didn't know Dublin in the past but I love the present Dublin. I fell the same, I miss my old city in my country and I think the new one is ugly, yeah and my joints are painful too lol
They miss Dublin being an Irish city and the loss of their nation enforced by people who despise their own
the streets were spotless, covered in litter and poo now
Lovely solid accent.
If you're reading these posts and are feeling sad about the current state of Dublin, I just want you to know, it'll all be OK in the end. This will be remembered as a strange and dark time for our culture and people, but in the end, we'll emerge stronger from it. Just as we have from countless other struggles.
There is less and less of us irish in Dublin I got a shock when I visited 2 months ago, I'm from wicklow and I have think hard to remember speaking to a irish person
@@Irish780 It's pretty goddamn grim.
@@Irish780 dublin was always the capital of a foreign country...ireland is the land outside...
@@oldtimer5283Every single man and woman that took part in 1916 and any other armed struggle after that wasted his life for nothing, absolutely nothing. There is no nation without its blood, an arbitrary border or form of Government is not a nation, and Ireland has 20 years left until its finished
Was liberty another name for a Renault 5 back then?
Sadly a Dublin thats gone forever 😢
@1:38 I wonder if Sandra + Tomo are still together😀
Dublin was a brilliant place. Full of characters and the crack was amazing. Nowadays its a complete cesspit. Gone are the characters, gone is the crack, gone is its charm, gone is the Irish. Very sad
Yeah now the rest of planet earth is trying to go there to escape the failed countries and take what they can from you in the process.
Dublin is a kip . Its character is gone. Horrible place now . Planners have ruined it
FULL of immigrants now, its not an irish city anymore
Everything changes. Population has grown. Poverty has reduced. Greater educational achievement & aspiration across the board. The city has modernised in terms of transportation & facilities. It looks far better aesthetically than in the 70’s. Less litter, additional bridges over the Liffey, redeveloped dock lands & better managed green areas. Property prices are the main issue at the moment but it’s a nicer city to walk around in now than back then.
@@tmck2000The population hasn’t grown, they population of Irish people has declined, I’d rather there were less bridges if it meant they weren’t full of refugees and foreigners sitting on their arses on the bridges
I miss Bo Selecta
Where did this footage come from? is it free use?
That guy looks like Elvis Costello's dad.
#overtime 😉
HOW DO YOU LIKE THE NECKLASE !!??
So, what *is a liberty in the context? A liberty is a church? Or a parish?
Money and greed has ruined everything
It goes a lot deeper than that - globalism.
The year the Pope visited Ireland 1979. I was 17, Slept out with 20 mate's in a field after wetting the Pope's head throughout the night. I was frozen stiff with a hangover after laying on wet grass all night. , with nothing but a tee-shirt on my back. I won't forget that night, not for the Pope but because I was frost bitten.l don't think I got to see him, the Pope I was to far away from the stage. 🤣
😂😂😂😂👌
@@f.b508 let Friday with Dolan
I was there too , but with mother, I was dreadfully hungover and the sun blinded me..
I was waiting to see JP facing Johns Lane Church with the camera all ready. As soon as I was about to press the button he turned his head towards the church. I could have smacked him one.
What on earth is a liberty??
yeah I'm confused too. A square? Plaza?
A parish?
It's an area of an old city that was once run by a church (not "the" Church but a church or a monastic order), or by a baron, rather than by the King or the main Lord of the area.
They often became dominated by specific traders, ranging from market traders to bankers and lawyers, who were less constricted than in the parts of the city directly under the King's jurisdiction.
The Liberties is an area of land in Dublin that was granted to the church by the King Of England hundreds of years ago: it was almost separate from the rest of Dublin in that it had its own laws - that's why it was known as the Liberties.
kinda ruins the film if you were just hit by the usher w a belt
I was so confused, I thought he meant library’s and Dublin use to have a flagship store like they do in london.
They I watch a few minuets in. It’s Just a rundown shithole part of town/city.
You still are confused 😕
@@oldtimer5283 :D
Now a non Irish area
Not really.
leave your house please, liberties is gentrified yes but it was never a non irish area...furthest from it
@@lurefishingdublin1530 yes really. Look up the demographics
@@noname1210hh demographics say otherwise.
@@timpatjoe leave your house
Pre diversity innit
Irish flag yet speaking in English slang while complaining about diversity. Quite ironic.
@@imjasonennis3624 I gave him a thumbs up and then I noticed that. Good spot. Still, I think globalisation is a bad thing overall, especially for white people in the long run.
And look at it now..🤮
