- What is it like for children growing up in inner City Dublin?
Patrick Gallagher meets a group of young boys in Sheriff Street, Dublin who tell him about their lives in the flats.
"Once you have friends, you are O.K."
Three blocks of corporation flats, St. Brigid’s Garden, St. Laurence’s Mansions and Phil Shanahan House, are situated in a triangle bounded by the docks, the canal and the railway. In the three blocks of flats, there are about 560 families and 2,500 children. The complex contains one concrete playground divided into sections: one for boys and one for girls.
‘Report: Once You Have Friends You Are OK’ was broadcast on 26 November 1970. The reporter is Patrick Gallagher - Розваги

I was born in Lawrence's mansions in sherrif Street in 1979. My father's family are all from sheriff Street. I'm looking at all these videos in the hope I'll spot my old man. We lost him in 2017 to cancer.
Remember going on a morning stroll there back in -07 or so, waking up just south of the Liffey, were my GF lived. Got a sandwich, some coffe and just walked around. And then headed back west-ish again. O`Connell street area seamed somewhat nicer. But there are some really nice houses inbetween. Dublin is a microcosmos of areas. /greetings from Sweden
Its been a long time since kids played marbles or flicked cards against a wall. One of the best things for poor kids was being able to play football, you only needed a ball and you could play it anywhere. Hopefully things worked out for them.
The Monk, Gerry Hutch a Dublin messenger boy. At least him and the boy's we're looking for work. As long as it's a job that's all that matters. 😎☘️
What job? "Antin!"
A young monk wanted to be a messenger boy 👍
Very polite boys, considering the interviewer was so brusque, verging on rude.
Very true.
Yes ,the interviewer was talking AT them instead of TO them..Maybe that's why some of the inner city young lads ended up on the wrong side of the law ,all the pompous ass ,West Brit types from places like Sandymount and Foxrock talking down to them because they spoke with a working class accent.They are the same type of people whose main concern was their shillings when the Union Jack flew along the Liffey. WB Yeats described them and destroyed them in a couple of lines of poetry. And how !
I come from a middle of the road family in Cork and I really have very little time for the pretentious poseurs south of the Liffey.
We wouldn't miss them if they all moved
to Surrey ! And they'd fit right in especially once they'd mastered the bland accent that is commonly referred to as Estuary English !
Pompous rte JACKEEN!
@@Kevin-rw4yw Yes ,they love themselves ,just like the English crowd
The interviewer was,nt verging on being rude, wow! Aren't you the touchy type??!, The boys seem pleased with the interview, I don't see any scowling faces!! The interviewer was just asking questions , he was not in any way rude to those boys!! Get a grip for god's sake!!
Nice kids
Two of them are Gerry & Eddie Hutch you fool !
Gerry hutch (the Monk ) at 43 Sec
Thought so too ...the bulb of him
@@johnsometimeswrong8742 he never changed 😂
That's who I thought it is.If it's not ,he should be!
Yep, it sure is him I reckon.
It's not him...that lad is from St Brigids Gardens, Sheriff St....
Wonder where are they now?
Costa Del Sol
The second boy actually grew up to be conor mcgregor
@@aidanbagwell9590 : He has aged well. Must be the Guinness! Lol
Mountjoy.
@@johnmc3862 100% correct 0:48 Gerry Hutch is on remand at present
Back when ireland was ireland
When most of Dublin was a slum and kids left school at 11 to find work that didn't exist. Where most of the population lived in abject poverty under total control of the catholic church. There's nothing remotely nostalgic about this era
@@calador1918 There is. I grew up in this era. At least you could walk down any street and not be attacked for being Irish.
@rachelmoran2205 No, you didn't grow up in this era, or you wouldn't be clownish enough to be 'nostalgic'. People who did grow up in this era will know my statement to be true. By your comment, you're likely a certain ethnic minority living in a caravan squatting on someone else's property
How very sad
Gerry the monk wants to be a messenger boy 😅
Public housing to the rescue!
I suppose that housing project has been torn down by now.
Here in the US we have a history of building projects that become instant slums. Is is like that in Dublin as well?
When ireland was better, people had less but really had more.
Im gonna go get the papers get the papers
Ask the dubs around there now what job there looking for,they’ll say “that’s bleedin discrimination ye Bolox ye
Be Quiet ye bitter farmer ye
Says your man on the dole,fuck up
Sheriff St is still rubbish
The Gaza Strip.
