Lived in Longford till I was 6 years old. Happy memories there. The town has really changed over the years. So much of the character has been lost and this video shows it well, with the multitude of generic retail units and multinationals. Not sure I would call this progress or if it is its the bargain basement equivalent.
I’m American, my mother was from Longford and I haven’t been there since I was 6, I’m 30 now. I want to go back and see all my relatives again it’s been so long.
The canal shown is the one from the Royal canal to Longford town. It is not open that is why it is overgrown. The Royal canal which the shown canal joins runs from Dublin to the Shannon it full of water and navigable and runs a few km from longford town.
Busqué este video para conocer la ciudad de la que vienen mis antepasados, los Nally; pero no he visto mucho; me gustaría ver más sobre la parte rural, o algún museo con obras anteriores a la hambruna de la papa. Saludos desde Argentina.
There's a whole webpage dedicated to the history of this town on my lastname o freel which is ferral clan in Ireland or o fearghil they were lord's and warriors for hundreds of years and history of them in Longford for over 1000 yrs .. they fought the English and the Vikings and was taking over by king Henry the 1 or 2 and lived as tenants under him after that..
Would love to go if only to see Farmer Phil and his shop for good meat 😅. We just love Ireland we visit every year before this horrible vires.We stay in house's.

Ah thanks very much for your lovely comment. Good to see your great passion for Ireland.Glad you enjoyed the video.your appriciation will motivate us to make more video like this.God bless you all.Thanks a Millions 🙏😊.
Yes I agree to. It's very confusing to understand the vicinity and townships, when you live abroad. I'm trying to find out the origins of a Celtic cross my mother inherited from her great-grandmother (Ellen Murtha co kildare) Her father William Murtha, Granard longford married Elizabeth Welsh 1835 Ellen married James Egan and they had 10 children born in a newly founded town named Killarney Australia . If anybody knows how to find out information about our ancestors, would love to hear from you thank you 😊5@@eileentreweek1799
Happy Greetings 😊. Thanks very much for the offer,will have a look on it.Channel Original name was The Third Eye initially but in the process of changing it to personal to Brand.thing went bad.its all in one the of my previous videos. Thanks a Millions again
Does anything ever happen in Longford? If it doesn't then I might be happy living there especially if it has a theatre and a swimming pool. Can you get to Dublin by train? Have all teenagers left?
@@HimachaliFamilyinIreland And hopefully there are no English Tories there. I hope that the teen-agers if there are any behave themselves and accept that they should be seen and not heard, as my father inculcated in me in the 1960s, just as his grandfather brought up in the 1860s, had inculcated in him. Long live Ireland!

The soul is gone. This is what has been traded away for promises of economic prosperity.
@@gumis123PL it's a dumping ground like ballyhaunis and not with engineers and doctor's.
I hear irish are minorities in some schools.
Is that the town that has been taken over by enrichment.
