It was Shamefull the ignorant way Dublin Corporation treated this National Monument. A different time and people .Militant nationalism running the city and running it into the ground literally.They didn't like to be associated with showing foreign Invaders in a good light. This is why the Corporation only used unskilled labour to excavate this site. Much was overlooked and lost , the good intentions of the workers to salvage something. Better they got something rather than nothing.This film has the patronising view of people who are not from Ireland and don't understand the sarcasm that's directed back.The Realisation, it only dawns on people later.Back than people believed everything they heard about Ireland as if it was gospel, one thing about It, it was top grade B,S ✌️☘️
A great programme which I first saw when I was 9. I have the tie-in book which in more recent times inspired me to visit Kilmainham Jail, the National Museum of Ireland and Mulligan's Pub. I was in Mulligan's Pub on the day of the Scotland v Ireland Six Nations match in 2016, and mentioned to a few other Scotland supporters that the pub had once featured on Blue Peter. Very sad to learn that Bob Lynch committed suicide.
