- Phyllis and Mary are friends who sell flowers on Meath St. Here they talk about their love of the area and their strong beliefs on why The Liberties might be headed in the wrong direction.
-----------
A series of 12 crafted short films, each focuses on a different character within Dublins Liberties community. It has been described as the documentary film equivalent of a portrait gallery.
The Liberties captures the character and unique humour of the people who live there. The documentary celebrates ordinary lives well lived in The Liberties - Tailor Eugene Fagan sews in a button for an 80 year old customer as they chat; Meath Street butcher Declan Larkin carries quartered cattle into his shop at dawn; Flower Ladies, Phyllis Kavanagh and Mary Hand judge passers by on Meath St; Theyre not going to buy flowers, Theyre not going to buy flowers. Brenda Fricker polishes her Oscar at home, just off the Coombe and recounts the comment from friends; What are you doing living up there, Brenda, Youll be murdered, Youll be killed. The film was shot, produced and directed by Shane Hogan and Tom Burke and edited by Tom Burke. Original music composition was by Gerry Horan. Audio post-production was by Kevin Breathnach at Avondale Studios. Titles were designed & produced by Lorcan Finnegan and Brunella Cocchiglia at Lovely Productions. The series of films was originally funded by the Arts Council under the Once-Off Project Award in 2008.

Beautiful. I used to live on the Coombe, in the Liberties in 2008. Lovely video I was at the recieving end - being an international student from India ha ha. They mean no harm. Wish I could find an old friend who I lived with there.
I was born in the liberties. Now live in the USA . I was born on Meath street and went back in 2011 and found the flat where I was as a baby. The locals were just like theses ladies and helped me find where I was as a baby.
Me too. I was born where the Liberty market is back in '61. It burned down in I think it was '64 and I was rescued by a local man. I think it was Mikey Sweeney. I am now living in the US for the last 10 yrs, and how I miss home.
Hi I was born in Oliver bond flats . Now in Melbourne Australia. I was back two years ago. Love my hometown xx

Juicy Smole Yay the one on with the Afro is my nanny she died a year later a day after valentines day
Brilliant honest speaking people say it how it is
these ladies make dublin what it is!
The Liberties is on its last legs as far as Meath Street is concerned. I saw it happen to a market I worked in back in South London. Today it's gone, just the way of the world, the council did most of the damage to be honest, and slowly killed off what was left. It's a shame really as Meath Street reminds me of the place I come from and I can see it happening in Dublin.
True love up the dubs
That lady is correct.
Every word she said.
Salt of the earth....
Great Dublin humour....
Real talk
As We say in Dublin , Those Women are Gas !
Very true it's a disgrace the way the Dublin ppl our treated
Ms. Kavanagh here had a one line speaking part in the film My Left Foot
@@Driver2616 was in the commitments
@@SandraMcAuley-st4mr: In that too? That’s great!
Love these two ladies but I do have one issue about one of the ladies.. She smokes and then has an inhaler in her hand.
Smoking with inhalers lol
Common sense
Some Irish people forget how Irish people travel the world looking for work and better lives.
Looking for work ,not welfare tourism. Too Christian ✝️ English speaking countries, we don't try to force or change the place we go too.
☺☺
I agree with them sick of all of them coming in- 💩💩💩😡

Hey...I know you
She right about the foreigners 👌💯
These are genuine nice women just a bit ignorant.If they talked to Africans or Asians they would see they are sound.
They have genuine grievances though. I grew up in e london in the early 90s and it was similar to what Dublin is now, multicultural but still for the most part felt like a European city. I went back a few months ago and parts of it literally feel like Pakistan now, no cockneys like there used to be. I felt out of place being white. Blindly saying that Africans and Asians are sound and we just need to get to know them better isn't going to be much consolation when the culture you love is being replaced rapidly, even if most Africans and Asians are sound. These people are a dying breed and are being replaced on purpose by politicians with an anti nationalism and pro multiculturalism ideology. Very sad.
Specsavers for you.
@@Fatfrogsrock 100% pal 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Nice racist people
There just sick of foreigners taking over the country
Like a Rat in a hole !! Yup can’t beat the straight up Dublin people 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
These Liberty people were the ones who supported the British army in 1916.
I bet you they all support an English football team.
One like you got for that comment. Probably by yourself
Say that in any pub in the Liberties and they will be the last words that will ever come out of your mouth.
Racist nonsense.
Why because they are saying honestly how they see things ?? Straight up Dublin working people best of the best 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
