- A look at life in the noisy, dirty, bustling streets of Dublin’s city centre.
Amuigh Faoin Speir takes a look around the busy streets of Dublin.
It’s all go. Very modern. I don’t be able to keep up with it all.
A look back to the days of traffic on Grafton Street, parking on College Green and along O’Connell Street, and a Garda on point duty on O’Connell Bridge.
At the centre of the city is O’Connell Bridge, joining the north and south sides of the city.
In Dublin, every street eventually leads to O’Connell Bridge.
Dubliners are pictured going about their daily business amid the busy traffic as workers create dust clouds ripping up pavements with jack hammers.
This episode of ‘Amuigh Faoin Speir’ was broadcast on 9 February 1968.
‘Amuigh Faoin Speir’ was a wildlife series presented by Gerrit Van Gelderen and Éamon de Buitléar. - Розваги
My Dublin that I loved so much people were great then I'm 77 and my wife died in March 2022 and I'm left with my memories of our times in this great city
Born there in '58 and reared in it. Loved it to bits growing up. Wouldn't go near it now, especially at night. Footage is brilliant, many thanks. Everyone looks Irish 😏..'suppose because they were !
Legend has it their still digging that hole on O,Connell Bridge
That's the Corpo for you!
I was born there in 1964. I looked for my father going to work, but I didn't see him.
That’s because he was lying to you. He used to spend all day with a she-male from Ballykeeran.

Wonderful close up fly on the wall study of a day in the life of the capital back then.
Lovely thank you for sharing
Love to be there back in the days when we all worked and helped one another . God bless the people who paved the way for us in 2024
I was born in 1970 in Holles St, so I’m a Culchie, grew up in Dunshaughlin Co Meath where I still have family, having also lived in Dublin for 3 years before moving to Manchester - coming home on the ferries from Holyhead it’s not the same
Dublin in the Rare Old Times
Briliiant footage. Busy place
Fell out with my parents, and set off from Yorkshire on my BSA and sidecar, (age about 17, I'm70 now) with just a few quid. Next day after a ferry trip ended up in Klondalkin just outside Dublin, next day I had a job in the paper mill & had rented a caravan in a lady's front garden. Travelled to Dublin every bit of spare time I had. Always remember Kids on roller skates around O'Connell bridge hanging onto the back of lorries & busses. One day on Canal street at the top of O'Connell street some toddlers ran out into the road in front of a farm lorry, when the lorry stopped a group of older kids with sticks with hooks on started pulling the vegetables off the back.
Good story, the paper mill burnt down yonks ago, where did you end up if you don't mind me asking?
Most people in this film now dead and buried...only the young ones still alive,maybe
I imagine a lot of those chaps on the concrete diggers got the horn .
Ah Ringsend at the start
Anyone in this video over 54 years old, lived through two world wars.
Only 1 world war ,the other was an emergency
Yep! Tough cookies
And the Rising, the War of Independence, and the Civil War.
No, they lived near a country that went though two world wars.
Neutral in ww2
Every vehicle now worth thousands!
All scrapped id say
Free flowing traffic, wide open roads......and pedestrians all at the same time, who'd have thought you could get away with that? not today anyhow
Wonder if any of the vehicles in this clip still survive.
Bus looks like either D96 or D98? (VZI 96/98?) new to Donnybrook garage in 1967 Either way both were scrapped in 1982/83 😢
Old Dublin, Pneumatic drills on Connell St, Swan sandwich in Shelbourne for a Guinea..
The only thing is that there could be fearsome smog. At one point my Dad had to wheel his Heinkel scooter along O'Connell street around that time as the smog was too dense one evening to safely ride to wherever. Far more people own cars and use them, although the complete failure of Dublin City Council to support public transport and cycling etc., plus some terrible ideas by their road planners, hasn't helped.

Ah lovely hurling, but Dublins not Irish anymore
Waaaaa boo hoo did oo get a boo boo because they wet the fowweners and bwown peopel in booo hooo pooh widdle wacist baby
Is it that bad? I only go for visits, I suppose you would have to live and work there to get the real picture.
True! Wish I'd been born and died fifty years earlier so I wouldn't have to see the destruction of Ireland for the native Irish! It's only going to get worse. The city is unrecognizable as Ireland now apart from a few neglected historical buildings. It resembles a 3rd world ghetto now- sad!!!
Bullshit, im a proud born and reared Dubliner and still live there. It`s like all cities all over the world with all the different ethnic groups. No city is the same as it was `back in the good old days`. I lived in London from 1988 to 1998 and recently went back for a week and it had changed in many ways over the past 20 years, just as Dublin has changed. Slainte.
@@martinmcdonald4207 Well said. Immigrants aren't the problem - racists are!
60's Ireland looked like the 40's England
The cars, trucks and buses are different to those of the 1940s
1840s?
@@markofsaltburn CIE buses back in the 1840's Dublin?? 🤣🤣🤣 I like funny guys.
That Ireland politically better place Thomas.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Tell that to the kids being fingered in the industrial schools, and all the other victims of clerical abuse, still rampant. No divorce, no contraception. Casual throttling of kids by the "christian" brothers. Fianna FAIL gearing up for the 1977 catastrophe.
Christ, what crack pipe are you wingnuts on? Nostalgia, the opium of the Reactionary.
Wasn't a particularly clean city back then either. filthy bars, cigarette smoke evrywhere, bad public transport, Guess a lot hasn't changed
But they were real bars with down to earth customers.
Shean how could you say such hard and cruel words, The chances are that there is far more pollution now, smoking and drinking beer and whiskey and chatting and telling stories and having fun, what is wrong with all that?
Another Culchie with a chip on his shoulder about Dublin !
Emission how are ya load of crap . Nct more crap
Looks boring
@@Hometruths29 yes I suppose it was in some regards
I'd take it over the city centre today!!!
