Is it though? I have met people with business and mortgages and what we class as normal things who seem so unhappy. These guys seem pretty content and reasonably happy compared to many businessmen and bosses I have worked for
I've noticed in all these old videos that the Church is always helping these people in some way or another. Giving beds or food or even money. It's popular now in Ireland to view the Church with negativity, but they really did a lot to help people.
They still own half of the properties still making deals with DCC selling land to hospitals 800 k more than dealt. Where do you think they got the money but from the taxes and deals with the business to keep people poor and for cheap workforce. There is nothing honest about any religion.
The church still does help people transiting through homelessness, they helped me when I was homeless, did you notice the homeless were charged money for a bed, the church and property tycoons have accumulated lots of property from charging the poorest of the poor for a bed, I heard this myth about when you are homeless you get everything for free! Yes the Iveagh is still the most expensive of the hostels today! €52.50 a week from your dole goes to the hostel company! The Iveagh is double that per week!
Some of these men are very intelligent but unfortunately they’ve been dealt a bad hand in life. Depressing to watch, the notion of some infinitely gentle, infinitely suffering thing.
@@deeppurple883 do you know any other good old videos of regular irish folk, my parents are from ireland and I love irish peoples mannerisms so much, i want to see more.
Some things never change. If only the social worker's recommendations were instituted. She made excellent points, which would have helped then and now.
Throughout the history of man millions have thread this long hard path and millions more are doing it now and will into the future, but we are all slaves to our bills
Heartbreaking to watch. Long before drugs came to Ireland, you could end up like this because the state sent you to an industrial school through no fault of you own and that shaped your future. Then, wonder why they won’t go to mass. Would you? After praying to a god who blesses some but not others. Everyone deserves a fair go, it’s on us if we fuck up!
Very sad. These men came across as being intelligent, eloquent, and as having a degree of dignity despite their situation. Here in Scotland, the lost souls seem to be skipping this stage and killing themselves these days. The drug problem is immense, and the suicide rate is absolutely incredible.
The summary at the end is absolutely spot on. Today's explanations for people being down and out are drifting so far away from the truth. I think services and opportunities are much better, but people are getting worse in a more complex society with many more avenues towards destitution.
Good beges good, bad begets bad. It is not only for one week, month,year, or even a lifetime. It spans multiple generations. We all need to be careful, especially with the future operators, and there needs to be an enlightenment began. One , even several thousand will not do. Look at how as an practice, we teach our children to continue to pass down the values that we was taught. The poor stay poor, and things degrade over time, over multiple generations. Family first, and not one person is family, just because someone in the family,b even multiple people in or outside does not like something that one is doing. As long as they are happy, and most of all. They are not harming anything or anyone, and they have the possibility that they can make money doing it, or as\from it\byproduct, then it's good, not the popular choice, but not hurting anyone.
I knew these men when I was a child. They all lived in the morning star hostel in Brunswick St. I went to school across the road in Brunner, the school around the corner Paddy Crosby, the fucker. ☘️
I gave money to charity when I had it. I'm happy I have a job that keeps me afloat. Oil Changing, tire mounting, Janitor. When fewer people have jobs, when prices are high, and taxes are higher. How are the forever blamed supposed to continue the bolstering and upkeep of the charities? Seems like a handy tool to pry against a civil society. The people no longer have the money to contribute to Churches or secular charities, or insurance. Then if you're terrible you exploit their cultural differences... Start purges and pogroms! Then (delete🤖 delete) I always prayed that the money, food or clothes would bring them to the healing power of Jesus Christ, and no one get in the way. Be mad at me for what ever reason. And people were.
Such a sad existence! Still happening today. Thank you, for sharing.

Despite their homelessness all of these men seem lucid and well-spoken.
Before crack an heroine
What a brilliant film. 👏
Some real classics on this channel.
So sad. I hope that in the future years their prospects improved. Now almost 60 years later, sadly their stories are lost to time.
I like the sociologist; interviewer, TV presenter Priest!! Great video, thank you CR

@@josipmickovic2572 🤣🤣 half the property. What on earth are you talking about 🤣🤣
It's haunting propaganda.

@PhoucDaBrits Strange why all those priests largely only fiddled young boys innit? I notice a pattern

When I was a kid I remember these men. They had a terrible time. I'm from the north side of the city and this is where they Rome the street's. 👊☘️

The perils of the booze when you've nothing left to lose
To think things were going to get much worse than this when drugs came along. Still a civilized nature about these people back then
17.5 years in the army only to have no pension or accommodation, terrible stuff poor fella.
"Not in Dublin long enough" Dublin city Council are still using that same excuse today!
Shut it foreigner
What does that mean?
Post more longer videos like this, please.

Not that long before drugs I remember these men from the 60,70,80s they were still around in those years. Sad, hard,👊☘️
What about the two lads on the red biddy? Man it looks like a desperate situation, no better now.
Long dead... 2 years was your average life span once your on meths. Lots of these drinkers in Nottingham in the early '80s...
Man, these classical homeless men are really putting ours to shame!
Beautiful hair styles 😍

Red Biddy sounds lethal
Yeah, "methylated spirits", as in methanol I assume, which can make you go blind.

They look better dressed than most people these days
Either that sociologist really pulled her punches or they cut it out. The man on the street gave a more accurate critical analysis.
😪
Loaves and fishes...if only it were so simple
All those charities come at a price.
thing are worse today no housing and eastern Europeans have all the jobs
