      When people never achieved something in live, they start taking pride in things like man made borders.

    Hey gang, this is 2022 and we're dying, we have much, but nothing compared to what you had- I'm four side Irish, American, we grew up in The Rockaway's, NY, Irish Riviera. Music, during the summer, was our anti-depressants. This video still has that effect, Pax-

    Splendid effort. My Granny emigrated from Thurles to America circa 1920. To see a bit of Liberty Square as it was in 1965 is wonderful. I know that area well having visited numerous times over the years. I wonder if where the Guinness is good for you sign is where The Arch Bar stands today. The chemist is still there in the same location and Mocklers pub was where the J. Hogan pub is in the video if memory serves. I'm going back to 1975 on that one. Perhaps some Thurles folk can clarify.

    Sounds like a slowed down version of what Glenroe used years later. Great fottage. Well done.

      @@halfdoorclub7520 I was never into soap operas of any kind but in between the Riordans in the '70s and Glenroe in the '80s was Bracken with Niall Tobin and a young Gabriel Byrne. Very edgy, very different. Was repeated on TG4 in the '90s or naughties.

      There's an Irish dance tune called The Blackbird and that's where the Glenroe theme came from it was rearranged slightly by a member of Horslips.
