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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
