It is wonderfully done. I am Irish-American but lived on the North-side of Dublin,just off Mountjoy
Square (Belvedere Place) in 1967+68. I like to think that my year there,my adolescent year, qualifies me as some kind of Dubliner. Much time at The Big Tree Bar on Dorset St. Thanks again.
Brilliant! I was born in Dublin on this day, 61 years ago. So much of this video is so forgotten yet so familiar. The footage of U2 at the end gave me the chills.
Old Dubliners are so much better in these time's in Ireland 😊
Nelsons pillar (a bit before my time of course) I am reminded that if you provide no lifts and plenty of stairs you can keep people at bay, anyone remember the chaos of Ballymun towers, kids, buggy and the weeks shop to cart up those stairs, you need oxygen and a paramedic to meet you when you got there
press or herald,herald or press.jaysus its lovely to hear that again.
Brilliant. Evokes a lot of childhood memories of Dublin in the 1980s
That is a gem, thank you for posting.

Eugene o'neill I hope your still with us 🍻🍻☘👍
Excellent piece of work. Well worth watching., Thanks for posting.
The footage of Dublin from the late 1970s to the early 1990s fascinates me. This is how I stumbled upon this documentary,which is brilliant. Can anyone tell me of an online resource that I could view photos or video of Dublin in this era? Your guidance would be appreciated.
to think in 3 years time 2016 we will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the proclamation of the easter rising. What a celebration that promises to be. How we as a young nation free from the yoke of british rule we crawled before we walked until we eventually ended up with an economy the envy of the world a few years back with a great city at the heart. I always wonder what heights we have reached without being at conflict for 800 years and left to do our own thing. Up the Dubs
Nelsons Pillar...the "controlled explosion" done a lot more damage that the uncontrolled one😁
This video is a gem!!
ballymunner and proud of it
This is great, thanks for posting
DublinMan79, The song at 17.05 is 'Treasure On The Wasteland' by Dublin band The Atrix.
thanks for the upload
Thank you so much!
I'm glad people are enjoying this - thanks for the comments.
Interesting thought, Callistheneitus, but I don't think it is Ronnie - I think Ronnie looked younger at that time (and don't think he had bald/thinning patch in his hair).

Dublin is very beautiful city
Amazing film. I almost cried looking at the destruction done in the sixties.What a beautiful city Dublin could have been. Also amazed at James Joyce's Cork accent, I wasn't expecting that.
Thanks for that.
Thanks, WJPB. I found it on an old VHS tape I had.
I know you asked the question a while back but there is a thread on Boards.ie of old Dublin with people uploading pics and videos. Its very good. You should look it up.
Thanks to a member of a Facebook group that replied, I can tell you that it’s the First Church of Christ, Scientist, Baggot St., Dublin. Built in 1928 and demolished in 1974 to make way for the Bord na Mona HQ.
@thebigfish11 been lookin for this for 20 years cheers man
Went wandering round Dublin last October for a day or so. Hada great time. made a little video of the sights I saw whilst there and wrote a little song to go over it called surprisingly 'wanderin round'. Cant wait to go back. The craic was gd:)
i'm some wat of a irish writer, my parents r from Donegal. I was born in Scotland tho. Will defo check out the names u listed in ur comment. Always like investigating new writers.
One of the World's finest but loosen it's identity.!!!
Ah, magicial dublin,and all its sights,to hear again, the voice of michael mac liammoir,worked with him in jurys hotel at a corporate function,the magic of his voice,may he rest in peace..

Tony sadar
i remember guiller in the liffey too! :)and the the time he walked down the street :)
this is awsome i live at 13 mins fancy moving to ringsend now lol
Born and bred
I grew and fled
Across the pond
And further away
I came back once or trice
Like the rattle of dice
But I still couldn't
Manage to stay
It's in me bones
Sure it always will
But I found other places
To fill
The dirty old town
My brogue, it belongs,
In a land that is
Now far away.
Wood Quay :( …..it makes my heart cry
Wonderful - one of the best things I've seen on Dublin on TH-cam.
What's the name of the poem that Michael MacLiammoir recites at the end?
Dear 1985 if you thought O'Connell Street in 1985 was bad I'm sorry to inform you that I'm speaking from the year 2024 to tell you that this street once known for it's significance in Irish history is now an embarrassing stain on Irish peoples once loved Street. 😢
Absolutely agree
My Grandfather was a Dub ,he used to talk about where he was born , "10a Cuff street", and then lived as an adult "Captains avenue", and he used to talk about the "Rings end uppercut" (kick in the balls).
+Stephen O Neill Girrup Ya Bowsy and clean up yar Cell and the owl triangle went Jingle Jangle
What about the ballyfermot kiss? A loaf in the uncle Ned.
I am actually so depressed having watched this.
A great trip out of memory lane, rare oul crimes, Burke, Sheridan, Goldsmith all passed over
nare a word of Guinness's moreover. Still for butter or for verse, as Gogarty said, "theres no
beating the oul town"
Look at the crowds at the Shamrock Rivers matches?!?
Gotta love the Ford Escort at 16:16....
The first few lines seem to be MacLiammoir's own introduction. The rest, I think, is from 'The Old Lady Says No' by Denis Johnston.
Marian Finucane!
BearRyan, I think it's just that in 1966 the traffic flow along the quays was the opposite of the way it runs (crawls!) today.
Would you include Molly Keene and Kate O'Brien and Edna O'Brien on your list of writers please...thanks.
That's the well-known Dublin historian, writer and broadcaster Éamonn Mac Thomáis.
The fact is the is an advert break in the clip with adverts for Ariel, Uno Paints, International Food Court & Yoplait Petis Flous.
No problem mate.
@squarey1 "Look forward - don't look back - and keep fighting".
All British car on the roads
Love the way the ads are left in...........can anyone tell me if that's Brendan Gleeson on stage at 40:59?
Yes
@dermot51 Glad your search is over!
It's gas the way Donnycarney is mentioned as a deprived area…the character of it has changed so much. It's becoming gentrified these days. But i do remember when I was a kid in Beaumont, you wouldn't walk through Donnyer sometimes…
Is that auld Ronnie Drew in the front of the wood quay demonstrations? (37:22)
That’s not a documentary, simply a collection of clips put together by lazy RTE
huub1989 Some things never change!
Is it just me or is the traffic going the opposite way around the 4min 20 mark??
Ah jaysus
Is anyone having a problem viewing this? I've tried a couple of times and it keeps saying Not Available In Your Country!
I live in Ireland.
Brisbane Australia January 2014.
I have had the same "problem" downloading real movies. I'm in Australia. I can only assume that there is some restriction on the video. Can someone please tell us what it/they are so we know.
JUAN.
====================================
Try ....'Reeling in the years'....up on TH-cam....
Can someone please tell me what Christy Brown is saying at 20:20? I understand him saying "well, it's very hard for somebody else. You see, we all have our own problems...." I can't fully make out the rest. I think he says "look foreard, don't look back," but his final sentence I'm struggling with. Thank you.
' and keep on fighting '
But when I’m at home I look forward and don’t look back, keep on fighting!
I think he says "keep on fighting"
What was the building being demolished at 28:30?
I'm fairly sure that it was the old Coombe Hospital. The steps and portico are still standing at the original location in The Coombe.
I looked up pictures of it and it's not the same building. Unless it's the back of it.
fiverZ you’re quite right. I had another look at the clip on a proper screen and it definitely isn’t The Coombe. I’m intrigued to find out now!
I’ve shared a still image of it on a Dublin history Facebook page and will see what others think!
Let me know if you find out what building it is. Thanks.
If you're on Facebook, there's a great page called Dublin Down Memory Lane that posts hundreds of old photos. They are also accessable via flickr(dot)com.
Was that an *Off Cam* prompt at 16:30 . (It sounds like a guy saying 'Gabriel'.... Like,.. STFU G.. ) ???
If I was German, that might even be slightly funny.
Some of us people travel, see and live in other places and among other cultures, and broaden our horizons.
Some, very clearly don't.
not quite!
@capitalonecard Why are you depressed?
yeah we had it good with all those famines
My documentary "Bargaintown" was shot around the same time, you can watch the trailer here: th-cam.com/video/GkcZMnRNyQA/w-d-xo.html
Can anyone name the character at 25:07?
a very good man, the only good man
Whats that Austin Clarke poem??..the big creep!
You wouldn't happen to know yer mans name at 14:43, interviewing the 'Ringsend beauties'?
Eamonn Mac Thomais..................
14:43 lmfao southside skangers!!
Who the absolute legend at 25:11?
'Ya ecclesiastical gobshite...'
And again at 51:45?????
Nice upload. Wouldn't exactly call Dublin one of Europe's finest capitals now...
To be fair, with a bit of proper planning, why not? Also, the blind stupidity of knocking down the georgian buildings to replace them with cheap looking, antiquated crap. Why not preserve the fronts and rebuild the insides at least? It's pretty depressing stuff. Love the way some junior minister overruled the planning authorities. don't know who it was nor how much he was ...ahem, paid to destroy this heritage!
irked you, did I, by any chance?
"One of the finest capitals in Europe", 🤣🤣🤣 Its a dump at best!
This is a mish mash....
Who's the gay lad with the hair, funny fucker?
Whats with the posh accents in them days lol is the bbc reporting wheres the real Dubs?
I've asked myself the same question.
Disjointed confused documentary.
But it works apart from the mass write out of women
IMPO, I don't think the narration is good.
I cannot stand these "English" narrated documentaries regarding Ireland!
I would love to hear an Irish narrator instead.
And maybe a female one
The biggest disaster in dublins history was whan the last British soldier left Dublin castle! What a dirty kip we became after that!
mcbrando It's now 4yrs later and, yep, your comment is still for the most part, being ignored. Hope you're feeling better about things. Big love x
Why don't you follow them and fuck off?
I find most native Dubliner's annoying. Most are brash, impatient crude people who think country people are stupid and slow.
Most country people think that about Dublin but it doesn't stop a lot of you commuting to Dublin to work or at Christmas time to do yoour shopping!! I am a proud Dub and have no problem with most country folk but I think what you are saying is a case of the pot calling the kettle black!!
I am welcoming and I come from Dublin, we are not all ignorant cunts!
Mark Murphy probably the yuppies yeah they are like that but most are nice
Mark Murphy I left Dublin as a kid but I remember being there in 1963 or 64 when Kerry played Dublin at Croke Park. The whole city was swarming with small, red faced Kerrymen. We young city folk had never seen such odd backward creatures before. So these were the Culchies we had all heard about. The neanderthal, unsophisticated little brutes both amused us and horrified us. Even today, Dubliners are a separate people from the country people of Ireland with very little in common. Long may it ever be so.
+Mark Murphy Mark I'm 100% Dublin born and bred, certainly not brash (northside working class), I have all the time in the world for anybody polite and generous enough to spare me time for an aul chat. I love all my fellow country men who are deserving of respect in the first place and i know for sure this WHOLE island is full of characters full of sharp wit but also a lot of arseholes. Dublin is our capital for which I won't apologise for being proud of but our greatest treasures and sights are mostly outside of Dublin. As its our 100 year anniversary this year we should all be proud of our nation dubliners or otherwise. Cheers!
