I watched every crumb of this on my little phone, like peeping through a keyhole back into the past. Those of us with farming history in our family see the ways they brought with them to here. They are with us. Thanks for the documentary.
I am from Indiana and enjoyed thoroughly. Best vacation I ever took was to Ireland back in 1987. I stayed with a lovely family that lived in County Wexford. I have such fond memories and photos of that trip.
Thanks for uploading this. Since I immigrated to Canada it’s great to have access to so many great Irish documentaries, you’re doing gods work by archiving and uploading them.
Sixty years ago, my father there in the bog of moher . Thin he was, like this man here, no fat to spare, and the jet planes then , a new thing in the sky, taking off from Shannon. We could see the river when the sun was just right. And two years later I was in one of them jets, to leave my home forever.
I am humbled and sad, looking at my own parents, and the times I a child cut the corn. I miss o Gra mocri . no I could never go home working forever and ending up N a bog near My Home at home, but somewhere else
And instead of the American flag flying and the National Anthem we heard The Angelus at 6 in the evening and they were off the air by around 11 pm. I think they played the Irish Anthem to close out the night.
Some say the good old days, later in life, we all say the good old, The good old days are when we were younger, when all or most of our family friends and relations were around When we were handsome and pretty When we were fit and stronger. When there are no wars, no conflict, no hunger or drought, when we have finished and finally escaped from school, college or Univesity, yes those were/are the good old days. For some now will become the good old days later in their life
Such a lovely video.....I can relate to it all from my youth....as regards people complaining about people from different European countries????.......sorry but 28 countries in Europe are all one people now.....open borders....
I wouldn’t say it’s sad now, I think it’s sad how irish people today, my generation like are trying to go as far away from this as possible, I’d not blame immigrants for it you’ll find most people have a very similar heritage sure we’re all brothers and sisters at the end of the day. As the narrator says about rye bread “ Sure the worlds gone mad”, i think he’s spot on
Yep, it's all about population increase, throwing many cultures and religions together in crowded cities, without any consultation of the locals, and expecting everybody to completely accept these massive social changes overnight, with absolutely no complaints.

My heritage comes to live now. That was also a rural heritage for a bit. Born in a small village on the Zeeland Region in the Netherlands!!
Wonderful heritage, traditional farming and stewardship, and such a poetic storyline in the Gaelic and English.
Lovely! Thank-you!

Love the Kingdom ❤
The year of the programme was from the 1970's on RTE of course try and upload 1970's Irish adverts from the website Irish Film Archives of course.
And instead of the American flag flying and the National Anthem we heard The Angelus at 6 in the evening and they were off the air by around 11 pm. I think they played the Irish Anthem to close out the night.
❤❤ old Eire we are made to feel ashamed of our beautiful natural past.....never I love it.

18:20 How did they know?! 😂
1:46 was that phrasing really necessary? 😂
Well I remember
When this video made?
Early to mid 1970s.
Such a lovely video.....I can relate to it all from my youth....as regards people complaining about people from different European countries????.......sorry but 28 countries in Europe are all one people now.....open borders....
I remember my uncle cutting turf. But now we know it's really bad for global warming and for the unique wildlife habitat that gets destroyed.
Now Ireland is filled with non Irish. Sad.

To be a minority in the next 20 years.

Ireland has a majority of “White Irish,” as 94.1% of the population.
For how long 😂
