My uncle that filmed this footage ( He's holding the camera ). Shouting things and being funny, unfortunately passed away the other month. He will be dearly missed. RIP Tony Lawless
Sorry for your loss. Jayus that was bleak. I had moved to London by then. Saw the deliberate declined from working in my ma & das chipper. The area was deliberately run down to ensure the infrastructure for #IFSC had no objections. How any locals remained is a testimonial to their grit, resilience & close bonds to a community. That once thrived, had full employment, where people where moving from abject poverty to building lifes for themselves, their children & each other that made life happier.

Brilliant piece of documented Dublin history.amazing to see the changes over the years. Even the ship the Asgard 2 which is part seen and spoken about at the very end, sunk in 2008. Great video 🙏☘️☘️☘️
Absolutely fascinating bit of archive footage. Amazing how the line between 'real' Sheriff Street and 'staged' Belfast is so blurred. It's amazing who such a massive swathe of the city was left to moulder….at this point, and I remember this as a kid, the area had gone beyond deprived and into a sort of post-war, ghost town and was ready for the plough and the bulldozer… but of course, despite the IFSC in the 90s, then the hotels, financial institutes etc setting up, and the likes of the Josephs, Laurences Mansions etc being levelled, many of the social problems remain. The heroin problem is as bad as ever.
very funny...brings memorys...the might have been hard time but there was great times..great people from the area that had its orthers back in good and bad times... hard to find folk like that these days...
Some areas of town used to be well dodgy. I remember going to dolphins barn as a kid and the lads outside the ice rink were on yokes and gear..Some of them their eyes were poppin out of their heads and the others were nodding or asleep on the side of the road. Lads used to always get mugged with syringes and knives to their throats. There was a heroin epidemic. Nowadays the majority of heroin addicts are in their late 30's or 40's
@@LeMerch People like Rene will never be happy with any effort to improve people's lives. He would probably blame the Irish government for the Russian invasion of Ukraine if he thought he'd gey away with that.
Gas video Michael! I'm actually looking for people who might have been extras in 'In the Name of the Father' for a documentary series. Do you know anyone or can you point me in the right direction?
Hi Roisin, Excuse me for only getting back to you now, travelling the last few weeks. I asked some family members and unfortunately we dont know anyone that was in the movie. Best of good luck with the Documentary, sounds great btw. Send me a link to it when its complete if you get a chance. Thanks Michael
I was an extra in some mothers son up on Killarney street.that's were they did the part of bobby sands funeral in the film.I'm nearly sure it was Killarney street it was awhile ago.
Gavin Bennett well if you examine the video properly and see where the new corporation houses are today (well where new in 1991) and look at a map,you see Mayor Street and that were the little fella says are you a policeman,that were the Luas tram drives down now.
05:22 'We should hold on this film cos in a few years time this will all be gone' He was dead right! Fair play for recording it and keeping, great to watch 20 years later
on videos like this you will always get people who judge but until you live in an area like this and know the people you will never understand how good the place and people actually were

He had a great laugh!
Sorry for your loss. He was a smart man capturing this on film, knowing that the coming century would see it be totally gentrified. RIP

Jeasus dont remember it being such a ghetto. If anyone got out of there alive they deserve every bit of happiness they get in life.

5:56 That’s the Church of St Laurence O'Toole. Stephen Gately’s funeral took place there (the guy out of Boyzone). He grew up on Sheriff street.
Excellent stuff . Golden oldie , great to see history saved .
Thanks for posting Michael great to have ...ideal for a drive through today to compare.
very funny...brings memorys...the might have been hard time but there was great times..great people from the area that had its orthers back in good and bad times...
hard to find folk like that these days...
+Lee O neill I agree 100%. :) Thanks for leaving a comment Lee.
+Michael Lawless your welome micheal....
Lee O neill spot on and unfortunately now with the places like this getting better the community spirit is at an all time low
my Nan lived there, we stayed for the six week holiday ever summer in the 60's
Peter McC that must have been six weeks of hell,I suppose it toughened you up for the new school year.

heroin is middle class now.
A rough area. But a lot of genuine heads reared here. Soul.
Sheriif Street really was like a social experiment in quarantining human beings. Almost like some sort of war crime!
It was a disgrace that the Irish government allowed people to live in these conditions and not much has really changed
a LOT has changed what are you on about
It did change but it's going back to this in parts of Dublin.
@@LeMerch People like Rene will never be happy with any effort to improve people's lives. He would probably blame the Irish government for the Russian invasion of Ukraine if he thought he'd gey away with that.
The people who lived there did that to the neighbourhood, it wasn't the government's fault they vandalised the place
if any of those bikes were actually paid for I'll eat my hat
Great video. Unbelievable to think this is what parts of the IFSC looked like
Not a foreigner in sight back then..brilliant!
Not a worker in sight back then...
@@phoenix7456 Not a middle class person in sight
interesting to see this.. hard to believe that this is Dublin...its looks so deprived like something out of the 3rd world..
+rossmorebaz yeah thats pretty much how Dublin is
+Lovemesome Brownbread there were estates just as bad as this in england and Scotland too back in the 1980s & 90s! its not exclusive to Ireland
finnmacool yet the community spirit in these places were amazing
This is great. Although it’s hard to distinguish film set from real place.
excellent video!
Jesus it never changed a bit
Lol you got to love the dubs especially th north inner city attitude for the time lol young kids
Were there 3 complexes on sheriff street (st bridgids gardens laurences mansions and phil shanahan house)
It's changed a lot since then
A major improvement
What a kip
5.25 how right he was
I remember it well.19/6/2013. Irish time 2:55am.
excellent video :)
He was right when he said this place may be gone
Ahhhh...mythical mystical orrland!
Great video

The kids at the start 😂
How was the church left alone and not burned out of it.
"Look at the balls on him!"
My street 😂😂

Gavin Bennett well if you examine the video properly and see where the new corporation houses are today (well where new in 1991) and look at a map,you see Mayor Street and that were the little fella says are you a policeman,that were the Luas tram drives down now.
Gavin Bennett if walking towards ifsc - to the right of the church - nearly all the way up towards harbourmaster
216 or a honda prelude
+Peter Burns
Yes I was actually at Rover 216 petrolblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Rover-216-Keeping-Up-Appearances.jpg
Thats ma. never knew it was that bad there.
what car is that? Cool dash.
As far as I remember it was a "Rover" couldn't tell you what model
Worse than the slumps of Monbassa
No it's not. Daft comment.

It looked like Syria does now. Then 22 years later, I went to college where those flats and broken warehouses were.
05:22 'We should hold on this film cos in a few years time this will all be gone'
He was dead right! Fair play for recording it and keeping, great to watch 20 years later
Georgie Casey I agree however it is still there haha no as In motion though
thank god it'll be gone to have to live in such deplorable conditions is nothing but appauling
