1950's I'd say. In the olden days, the entrance door to a house was in two parts: the upper half could be open to allow light, air, & view to the outside, while the closed lower half kept crawling babies in and chickens etc out! It was the custom to take down the 'half-door' of the house to furnish a dance platform back then. Which is what we see in this video. Míle Buíochas/many thanks for uploading!
Nah!!! The fun hasn't even started yet. Be a little more optimistic. Irish blood is dormant, for now. But she'll soon wake up.... Get yourself fighting fit
I can just remember the early 60 in Ireland and it wasn't much fun to be poor, hungry and few prospects of work. No thanks it a much better country now.
These were men of the land and the sea and could make anything and the skill was handed down through father to son and beyond thank you for sharing Sean 💚🍀 - so beautiful to watch. I wish my lovely da was here to see. He was from the liberties in Dublin and grew up in poverty in the 40's but said he had the best time, he said no one robbed anything as nobody had anything to rob! They don't make men like him anymore💔
Back then I bet everyone in this video has a relative who had to leave and go abroad, it was those who had to leave who kept the country up on their feet then, yet, today their children and grand children are regarded as " plastic" Irish.
It was the money sent home from our people working abroad that saved us from the worse effects of a corrupt government. Very often the top kids in their class could get a job and had to leave while those kids with parents “in the know” got the job no matter how badly they did in the exams. Never forget the “Many Young Men of Twenty”.
