I was a Garda for 31 years and I blame all those greedy publicans who are willing to take anyone's money without a thought for the poverty and social destruction they cause.

You spent 30 years as a henchman for this corrrupt state, protecting pedo priests and corrupt politicians. How do you live with yourself? you evil piece of shit!
Greedy publicans?? Sure looks at the rates they pay to stay open now its nearly not worth the time for some to stay open what would they have to give?? And how does that go for every publican...I never heard of the guards doing fuck all for charity either...they barely do the job they are enshrined to do as it stands...fucking pulling decent people on the way home from work wont go out and do what's needed.. I'm sure plenty a survivor of sexual abuse from the church went to guards and they got nowhere but go on anyway and run down others

Johnny Patrickhaus and 5 x sixpence was half a crown. In the early 60s that would buy a quarter lb of fresh butter, 6 morning rolls and 1 pint of milk. And that half crown went between my mum and the neighbour downstairs who took turns borrowing it from each other. Her husband drank but my dad didn't. He was in ill health after a fall from a ship he was helping build in Greenock. No health and safety in those days nor compensation.

@laser325Really? Prior to the introduction of hard drugs to Dublin were there armed criminal gangs with international ties to terrorist organisations? Were 1000's of robberies committed by alcoholics looking for their next fix back then?

@@paddypenman2682 totally agree and it all started when they sold out there brothers and sisters in the north of Ireland and purged on a lie of a irish nation
A lot of the time it is their own doing. I agree. But fairness requires that we acknowledge that most of these down and outs come from backgrounds that left them deeply wounded. These wounds make it difficult to do even the things most people find easy. It does not excuse them but we can't automatically put all the blame on them without knowing them. Unless we had a similar experience our opinion on the matter carries little weight. What we cannot speak about we must pass over in silence. @@ludwigwittgenstein2422
The country my parents grew up in, there was *nothing* absolutely nothing, not a pot to piss in. The poorest country in Western Europe. Foreign Nationals coming in now think Ireland was always prosperous, it wasn't. it really wasn't.
It's heartbreaking to see obviously intelligent, thoughtful men so down on their luck. The gentleman at 5.33 has the look of a down-at-heel Montgomery Clift (the Hollywood star of the 50s). I wonder what brought him to such a low point in life.
No self control. You don't win when you come out of a public house or bookies. If someone's on the streets over an addiction they deserve out sympathy but there are some that have just given up on life that deserve more.
Irish jockey how is today homeless very different they may get more to eat still have wait to see if they get a bed for the night and can't go into some of them because of drugs. God bless them all.
Not homeless like these men. They don't have a permanent home but have Accomodation. The only true homeless are the ones on the streets that won't accept help
Weighing in at abt. 3.3 lbs filled with abt. 86 billion neurons, the human brain is awesome. It functions 24 hrs. a day awake or asleep from the day we are born to the day it finds Religion.
The priest never gave a shift the government never gave as yet nothing has changed in this country but we are to take in refugees from different parts of the world and say nothing what about our own first still plenty of poverty in this country what about the Irish surely they must come first
Lots of priests took shifts...noted you great at complaining but you cant say shit why is that if you say on your comment..its was no typo because the rest of your opinion has no spelling mistakes somif you meant to say shit then say shit.. not shifts..two different words two different meaning...
It wasn't too long before this video that millions of Irish refugees and immigrants flooded the world. You'd do best to remember you history before opening your mouth about refugees
Homeless geezer said to me, I haven't eaten for three days. I was thinking fair play to you, I wish I had your willpower, I cant keep my face out the fridge.
You could not then get a job if you were old, had any illness or were in prison, things still haven't changed. It always way who you knew if you got a job not what qualifications you had, or how you dressed/
The Irish people are not looking for a minority to blame. The Irish people are questioning why, if Ireland can support others, why cannot Ireland support her own? 10,000 Irish people are homeless while Irish leaders look on and do nothing but welcome outsiders with open arms.
Dublin was the second busiest port of British empire, before Irish independence, The people of Dublin worked and supported the British empire so much that they flew the Union flag ,And other parts of Ireland called them the Dublin jackeens , After independence and civil war ,The new Irish middle and upper classes took control, And the poor working class Irish were often given the boat fare to UK and other nations,
You do realise Ireland was pretty much a third world Country at this time ? Secondly educate yourself on your countries history , we have a log history of emigration , and we where dirt poor when we did so ,
Yeah the big difference is we (irish) were needed to build those countries from scratch... there is no need for an influx for us theres no jobs... should concentrate on upskilling our own population not bringing other cultures in to replace us
@@noelh6523 well yeah you can upskill yourself fairly cheaply in Ireland compared to most other countries , courses are cheap and college is cheap compared to everywhere else , immigrants normally take labour jobs , or often jobs that Irish people who are qualified i n the same field move abroad to practice as there is better pay , a better education system is needed for sure , but it is not immigrants who caused the recession and fuck the economy up , it was rich white men and bankers , this idea that the Irish where the only good immigrants is a fucking joke , Ireland needs immigrants just like the states did ,
@@christianmcgyow2251 not really actually the fact is we were good immigrants because there was a want for us in highly skilled areas such as construction.. we added greatly to the economy.. your saying immigrants who come here are just as valuable because they generally take lower paying jobs i dont think so.. and there is a huge difference between the state of our current economy for jobs compared to a fledgeling country such as USA economy.. we literally went over n built the bridges cities n tunnels... the same cannot be said now they are worlds apart
curiosity 2019 They did not have birth control pills during those times and I am assuming condoms were very expensive. Everyone had large families back in the day not only the Irish. Probably the Catholic church encouraged couples to have lots of children. Look at the Phillipines, mostly everyone is Catholic and the church is against birth control. The Church doesn't care about people. They sit on their fat arses, filling up their faces with good food. Look how many schools abused children. Sexual abuse was rampant and some even died. Horrible abuse. It is ok to sit back and judge people. Those days were back then and today's world is not much better. Now pedos run rampant, child trafficking, young babies, children being murdered by their own parents even.

See nothing has changed in Ireland
The priest never gave a shift the government never gave as yet nothing has changed in this country but we are to take in refugees from different parts of the world and say nothing what about our own first still plenty of poverty in this country what about the Irish surely they must come first
Lots of priests took shifts...noted you great at complaining but you cant say shit why is that if you say on your comment..its was no typo because the rest of your opinion has no spelling mistakes somif you meant to say shit then say shit.. not shifts..two different words two different meaning...
It wasn't too long before this video that millions of Irish refugees and immigrants flooded the world. You'd do best to remember you history before opening your mouth about refugees
Donna you're the future.

@Mad Man 1 you're the future god bless you.
When a Priest looks like a Character from the Hills Have Eyes, You know that Poverty in His Parish is not far from Famine

Homeless geezer said to me, I haven't eaten for three days. I was thinking fair play to you, I wish I had your willpower, I cant keep my face out the fridge.

You could not then get a job if you were old, had any illness or were in prison, things still haven't changed. It always way who you knew if you got a job not what qualifications you had, or how you dressed/
Poverty in Ireland - Lets find a minority to blame.
The Irish people are not looking for a minority to blame. The Irish people are questioning why, if Ireland can support others, why cannot Ireland support her own? 10,000 Irish people are homeless while Irish leaders look on and do nothing but welcome outsiders with open arms.
K N that actually makes a lot of sense
Tool.

Dublin was the second busiest port of British empire, before Irish independence, The people of Dublin worked and supported the British empire so much that they flew the Union flag ,And other parts of Ireland called them the Dublin jackeens , After independence and civil war ,The new Irish middle and upper classes took control, And the poor working class Irish were often given the boat fare to UK and other nations,

So 60's were full of pensioners??
In Ireland sure , most young people left for country's that were not so stifling and lacking in opportunity
So have you a problem with that
At least the poverty we had back then was our own, now we have our own plus the 3rd world migrants on the gravy train. Sickening.
You do realise Ireland was pretty much a third world Country at this time ? Secondly educate yourself on your countries history , we have a log history of emigration , and we where dirt poor when we did so ,
Yeah the big difference is we (irish) were needed to build those countries from scratch... there is no need for an influx for us theres no jobs... should concentrate on upskilling our own population not bringing other cultures in to replace us
@@noelh6523 well yeah you can upskill yourself fairly cheaply in Ireland compared to most other countries , courses are cheap and college is cheap compared to everywhere else , immigrants normally take labour jobs , or often jobs that Irish people who are qualified i n the same field move abroad to practice as there is better pay , a better education system is needed for sure , but it is not immigrants who caused the recession and fuck the economy up , it was rich white men and bankers , this idea that the Irish where the only good immigrants is a fucking joke , Ireland needs immigrants just like the states did ,
@@christianmcgyow2251 not really actually the fact is we were good immigrants because there was a want for us in highly skilled areas such as construction.. we added greatly to the economy.. your saying immigrants who come here are just as valuable because they generally take lower paying jobs i dont think so.. and there is a huge difference between the state of our current economy for jobs compared to a fledgeling country such as USA economy.. we literally went over n built the bridges cities n tunnels... the same cannot be said now they are worlds apart
@@christianmcgyow2251 we definitely do not "need" immigrants, what we "need" is a fresh government. Not these wishy-washy leftist globalists.
they had to pay PEDOPHILIC CATHOLIC churche!!
Gur cake.
As soon as the Brits left us, we descended into a kip until the EU ruled us, we always need to be governed or this is what we turn into

The poor should have only one child or preferably no children.
curiosity 2019 They did not have birth control pills during those times and I am assuming condoms were very expensive. Everyone had large families back in the day not only the Irish. Probably the Catholic church encouraged couples to have lots of children. Look at the Phillipines, mostly everyone is Catholic and the church is against birth control. The Church doesn't care about people. They sit on their fat arses, filling up their faces with good food. Look how many schools abused children. Sexual abuse was rampant and some even died. Horrible abuse. It is ok to sit back and judge people. Those days were back then and today's world is not much better. Now pedos run rampant, child trafficking, young babies, children being murdered by their own parents even.
@@sparx180 True. Children are very vulnerable and unprotected in society. I'm very ashamed of the human race. It's very uncivilised.
@@ingenuity168 I agree. Children are our most valuable commodity and look how a lot of them are treated. Thank you.
