I was born and bred in the Liberties in the 60s I remember these people in the iveagh market and in Meath st Fr Foley's club ,the murtagh boys singing, great nostalgia,I would love to see more of these brilliant videos of the Liberties in times gone past,👍👍👍
In many ways it was a tough auld life back in 1975 Dublin .. but .. I preferred the people, the community, the chat and the people back then. Sorry, but that's how I feel!
Ur comment is most definitely right,I feel the same there was a fantastic community spirit in the Liberties back then,I'm from Francis st I grew up there in the 60s beside Francis st CBS Where I also went to school,back then it was a fantastic community,now the money men are moving in and destroying the Liberties all through Greed.
Gentrification and immigration are killing the area. The barley mow, silken Thomas, Dean swift, carrs, lamplighter, pimlaco tavern, the clock, Bakers and bohans all gone. The pub is the heart of the community.
My dad was born in 1918 and brought up in the Liberties. A place called skinners lane. His mother's side of the family came as a Heugueno from France. They were silk weavers as far as I know. Some time back in the 70's I did my inter cert project on the liberties. He told me about life there in the 30's. No money and a lot of poverty. A highlight of the month was when they used to have sales in the street. Just piles of clothes and stuff and if you were lucky you might get yourself a great-coat or overcoat. He told me a story which I always remember as a story of trust in business. A shoe mender/maker at the time would bring a block of 'leather' wrapped in brown paper to the pawn, with a promise to buy back the leather after he'd made some shoes. The pawn would know that the package contained no leather, but that he'd be using the actual leather to make shoes and buy back the package (with some interest of course). My dad was a fiddle player and educated himself (partly in the Curragh camp) and was a great raconteur. What I'd give to have a pint with him now. Those old bottles of Guinness in the video would do in a pinch :)
All my family the Connaughtons, were from the Ross road and are still in the Liberties. A few left of us now like. I wish I'd have gone over from Manchester much sooner than I did.

My Family still get Those Rings of White Pudding and the Best Sausages in Dublin , And We where Raised Wearing the Secondhand clothes from The Iveagh Market . Many Saturdays as a very Young Boy I was Dragged up and Down Meath Street as " Me Ma , The Aul Wan " Bargained Her " few Bob " with the Dealers to Buy Food and Fruit to Feed a House Full of Children . They where the Heart of Dublin Those People of the Liberties . When I Travel Home from London all to Rarely My Sisters will have Meath Street White Pudding , Sausages and a Fresh Batch Loaf Ready to Feed Me and the Next Best Thing would be Smoked Cod ! Feck it ! now I have made Myself Hungry for Food I can't have .
Alot of these people went threw 2 world wars a depression as well and I think you can tell in there faces they had a tough life. But they had respect which is lacking in 2022 the streets are no longer safe to walk
Now you are talking Back Pudding, The very great Phil Lynott said, wrote and sang I believe in the freedom song , Long live liberties I believe in the freedom song , Doesn't matter what you do to me, Long live liberty, yes Long live liberties
@@spmoran4703 Your dear Dad had very great taste. It is the very best especially cooked with eggs,, sausages, and rashers, the food of Kings ,The very great Cú Chulainn had Black Pudding every morning, before going in the battle

Incredible footage I’m absolutely blown away here. This channel is gold
What a great video to watch, of times gone by, of wonderful people and of song.
