Thanks for uploading. I was in UCG but had left two years before this event. It's amazing to look back at those times in this and your other videos. All the older people, and indeed some young people feeling that they must act as moral guardians to prevent our upcoming descent into depravity as they saw it. You couldn't argue with them that what consenting adults did privately was no one else's concern. They never saw what was actually coming, the actual depravity in the abuse of power by the Church over the vulnerable they were supposed to be taking care of, both temporally and spiritually. Some of the self-appointed moral guardians never got over that sharp shock from reality.
Yeah, I felt sorry for allot of them actually, particularly those that were older. The first slap in the face they got was the Eamonn Casey scandal. That shook allot of older folks around Galway (And beyond).
4.05 "What we are trying to do, is to prevent this filth, from touching our youth" Unless that filth touching our youth is a priest, then it's grand eh.
"I've never seen the movie but I don't like it and therefore, you can't see it." Those people taking offence to a movie chose to take offence. Offence is taken, not given. Someone being offended is no excuse to censor anyone. What gives those protestors the right to decide what other people can and can not view?
What a fascinating piece of social history! Thank you for posting this. It's definitely not the Galway or the Ireland of today, that's for sure. (Though the area around the entrance to NUIG looks pretty much the same!) Such a different time - you'd never get a legion of protesters to come out to oppose a Godard film, but then you wouldn't get more than a handful to come out and view it either. Also, I think the irony would be that if there was a censorship battle now, the target would probably be someone opposed to abortion or gay rights, and the folks calling for censorship would probably be much younger than the ones opposing it. (Albeit, I've found that Ireland is still not as bad about 'cancel culture' as the USA or the UK.)
I left Ireland in 1985 , a you gay teenager that just had to get away from all this . That guy at 5.05 is as camp as a row of tents , probably had a collection of bodybuilding magazines under his mattress .
Man, we really have evolved as a society in the last 35 years. I wonder in 35 years time will people look back on the Ireland of today and have a similar view?
This is hilariously funny. It's almost a given anyway that the very people who often protest against a movie or a book have never read or seen the thing they are protesting against.
I am left speechless, totally speechless. I wanted to say that at least all those auld Nanny Goats are dead now. The weeds are slowly being pulled from the garden. The smell of piss and stale musty perfume on the bus back to Cork must have been horrific.
This is a flash back to a depressing grey lreland of the 80's....just switch off the news, otherwise you'll lose your smile.... Both sides wouldn't p*ss on you if you were on fire🔥🙃
They're even coming from Gdansk to see the movie
FILLUM
Meanwhile the church was destroying little kids lives with widespread sick sexual abusiveness beyond words

Our Mother
Like trying to talk to trump supporters.
The passion of St. Tibulus
Ah lads I'm mortified for us, this was only 34years ago!!! 🙈🙈
I remember it well - I wanted to see the film that evening...
Is it a sort of Nudie thing?
Ah sure I might wander in.
4.05 "What we are trying to do, is to prevent this filth, from touching our youth" Unless that filth touching our youth is a priest, then it's grand eh.
Or how about the odious apparatus of an abortionist
Most of those old biddies are now long dead, thank goodness.
@@lukerothwell1474They remind me of trump supporters at a trump rally.

I think the Bishop Casey scandal in the early 90's was the death knell for that kind of religious mania in Galway.
It bored the arse of me
@@gilactico That weird family who sued NUIG are trying to revisit those days.
@@johnnyfeen1347 they are indeed but unfortunately unlike the Bishop they're not big box office 😂😂😂
I left Ireland in 1985 , a you gay teenager that just had to get away from all this . That guy at 5.05 is as camp as a row of tents , probably had a collection of bodybuilding magazines under his mattress .
AWFUL times that nan at 5.05 is a senator now I think his name is Mullens.
The Fr Ted episode was based on true events , that is wacky we have done well considering.
Correct, only 10 years prior to that episode
3:47 Yer man with the pink head-scarf looks coked off his head.
Definitely a fan of the yokes
And that’s a women 😂 😂
@@nervesinapattern7261 No shit 😆
Let's have a look lol
That's the durty Aulwan from naked camera
is it a nudey thing?
you wouldnt believe the amount of nudity in it
Man, we really have evolved as a society in the last 35 years. I wonder in 35 years time will people look back on the Ireland of today and have a similar view?
they will to be sure
About the same time as this......I was 8.....going to the Town Hall Cinema to see He-Man .... Basil Mouse Detective
The times we lived in and it’s not that long ago.
Instead of RC nuts, we now have PC nuts
The sense of offence-- great name for a band 🤣🤣.
priest in the background fiddling with a 5 year old
blasphemoous pornography.... where can i get this film? sounds pretty good
😂
And then Fr Ted came along.
This is hilariously funny. It's almost a given anyway that the very people who often protest against a movie or a book have never read or seen the thing they are protesting against.
how this country got to where it is today i will never know.
Just imagine, this was all people had to bother them in 1986. Different world. Very innocent times.
‘This filth touching our youths’🤣🤣🤣🤣j
“Terrible things are going to happen”……….Tuam……….hold my beer
absolute headbangers ...
A bus load of old biddy's and a few weirdo's stopped a film being shown !!
they firebombed dancehalls.
That bus must have STANK... of pish.
Is it dubbed or subtitled??
Virtue signalling at it’s best.
3:19
As Brendan Gleeson might have said in "The Guard" - "I don't know where _you_ get your pornography... but it's not where I get _my_ pornography!"
The state of the catholic man with the glasses who pays Tax. .➕
like Spock outa star trek ha ha ha
How many guys in that group in the closet Id hazard a guess around half
2:16 Pete Smith wearing a tie, I don't believe it.
Ffs
Sure could be worse, they could blow up a few people or stab/beheadings etc.
Censorship of the people, by the people. I wonder if there was priests telling them on Sundays to do this stuff.
Great to see we've come a long way
I'm not sure we have come so far when you consider rampant cancel culture in modern universities
Father Ted
5.05 that Simon harris lad sticks his nose into everything
I agree with u all ban it .🙏🙏
So I take it Debbie Does Dallas was never shown here.
Jerry Springer the Opera had the same issues as recently as 2006. So these Zombies still exist. John d Reilly on Spotify
I had a good laugh at the people praying outside.
I am left speechless, totally speechless. I wanted to say that at least all those auld Nanny Goats are dead now. The weeds are slowly being pulled from the garden. The smell of piss and stale musty perfume on the bus back to Cork must have been horrific.
😂😂😂
This is what happens when
Sure I might wonder in...
A lot of sheep out there....the deluded women at 4minutes must of been talking about the priesthood..
Down with this sort of thing
What film was it
Dubbed or subtitled?
Father ted down memory lane
2:23. Father Fintan Stack obviously wants to see the film!!
2 year sentance with the last 24 months suspended
5:05 bent as a ram's horn.
The-ay-ters.
Is it a kinda nudity film fr.??
Down With This Sort Of Thing
Careful now
Extreme is its??
One of Godard's greatest works.
Cut to 2022, where the young generation act like the old catholic people. How the turns have tabled!
Just like in some parts of Poland now.
XVI th century.
Blasphemes pornography, the best type of pornography some might say...especially in Cork...
Watched the film and it was desperately worthless art house crap. Today lady gaga thrives on getting almost banned.
What's the film guys?
Jean Luc Godard's Hail Mary
French Cinema 🤣🤣
Down with that sort of thing!
This is a flash back to a depressing grey lreland of the 80's....just switch off the news, otherwise you'll lose your smile....
Both sides wouldn't p*ss on you if you were on fire🔥🙃
4.55 ur woman gagging to see it
My heart bleeds for our Irish brothers and sisters it is appalling how they have been treated our families love goes out to all.
