Bless him x

@@ellenhughes115 yes Ellen, what a lovely man, I particularly was touched when he said I think of her every night 😞 sad to hear that the young journalist in the clip died aged 40.

@@ggg-eg5pz oeewww noooo x

@@ellenhughes115 yes he died sadly 🙏

ggg Indeed he does and I know how he feels. My own mother died going on 13 years ago this November. This man and I must be related - he looks just like my mother's people from the O'Connor side ( Co. Leitrim ) . I pray for both of my parents each and every day, and still miss them greatly.

Very true fella, I worked with many in London, by God did them men work,

@@ggg-eg5pz What work did you do?

@@pauljordan4452 ah as a young lad when I first went over I was labouring to a few brickies, I ended up at the shuttering and steel game 👍

@@ggg-eg5pz I have a physical disability and can't do that kind of work, so I respect you. I write books.

@@pauljordan4452 I'd love to write books Paul🤔 My late mother and father didn't really think I was the academic type and made me get a job at 15😄 though I am a good reader of history and religion. I like to read, 👍

If there was work in the bed, he'd sleep on the floor.

Lol I like these 🤣

🤣Ah I love it.

Hahahaha, good one!

😂😂😂😂😂

God Bless His Soul

I think it's a semi-contradictory filthy purity that shines through, unscuplted and unpretentious, and absolutely trustworthy.

Yeah...they came from a time when there wasn't so much unnecessary information, there was more clarity and more family bonds...we didn't realize what we were giving up chasing our materialistic tails.

@@juliapigworthy Filthy Purity? Now that is pretentious. Did you study Arts in Galway?

@@Tombuchaill They also came from an intensely Catholic culture. Lying in Catholicism in a sin, so in Ireland there existed a culture of honesty and forthrightness.

My late grandmother once said 'youth is a curse, old age a blessing'.

My mum got that off her granny too, she still says it herself

As the devil, I must say your grandmother was wise.

Not heard that in YONKS

So did my mother.

Hi how are you....my name is Ray

If you had a heart you wouldn't use that username and avatar.

@@folksurvival first thing that came to my mind too.... Lol

@@folksurvival If you have a problem with that. Just remember, it's your problem. I don't owe you or anyone else an explanation for my choices. 😁

@@conlaiarla I didn't ask you for an explanation.

@UCoS0BGs2a9DkN4C2xf8BTgg You are free to make such false judgements and projections Mr "Deus Vult, Keyboard Warrior", I however am not triggered or offended by your false judgement of me as you seem to have been about my simple reply to you. Perhaps you have some growing up and/or toughening up to do so you don't feel the need to react in such a cringey and immature way in future and make a fool of yourself again any time a basic reply to a comment you post on a public platform open for communication gets a reply that hits a nerve. EDIT: Looks like you deleted your comment as I posted my reply. Well, that's that.

I think it's a forgone conclusion, that you'll live till your dying day.

@@manonamountain I think he means if he dies before losing his mental capabilities.

@@manonamountain I think you're taking live literally.

He speaks with such passion from the heart..❤

those generations had true grit,,,most people today are too snowflaked to even handle such times!!!

@@donnariggs1567 couldn't agree more..!!

@@janiceward2169 i HAVE HIRED TEEN AGED BOYS TO WORK AND AT 65 i WORK HARDER THEN THEY DO SO i STOPPED HIRING THEM AND JUST DO IT MYSELF!!! SAVE A BIG BUCK OR TWO ALSO!!!

@@donnariggs1567 I believe that alright, they dont have the stamina of the generations before,I hear them moaning about being tired and it makes me think of all the very young guys who volunteered to fight for their country including my grandad.We now have generation tech..!! Theyr not made of the same stuff as yourself..👍👍

Yea most of them diggers keep going and trying to hear the fires of hell and the others tell the stories in the local pub what great west of ireland people

My grandad was from Sligo as well, when we would visit, we would help in at his farm. I could have listen to him chat with his country friends all day. Tons of stories, banter and charm.

Only lawyers are buried 20 under twenty feet of earth, because deep down they are decent people!🤣

This comment has me in stiches hahahahahahahahahs

Covid isn't the problem nowadays, it's the absolute lack of logic.......😃

That man was head journalist of the Mayo news and was more than likely doing a separate article for his paper. He is also since deceased may he rest in peace. Know the facts Misty peppercorn

@@declanmurphy8399 first of all I didn't know the man had died, and the second fact of him is invalid because neither of us knows if he was writing another article for himself or a paper, if he was a head journalist why didn't he just take the notes as he edited the video later on since he would be able to take better notes without the rushing. I was pointing out the logic of it all.

Stall week laugh at this comment

Anthony Greene My own granddad looked and spoke just like this old gentleman. As a young boy I'd sit and listen to every word he said. He had to be one of the wisest and funniest men I ever met.

A strong Irish woman no less

@@regalsurvivor3418 unlike the so called women of today Help us all

What happened to this gentleman's mum? I gather she went away to work and didn't consequently see her family.

She'd go away for a year he said. Imagine that now. People have no idea how easy they have it all put here by the people that went away for a year....

@@tinkletink1403 Gobshite.

think eejit.

@@tinkletink1403 bollicks

This will make you laugh married a freshly off the boat from Kerry fifty yrs ago we were only young had the most beautiful blue eyes I put up with him for ten yrs divorced him forty yrs ago the ignorant twat didn't know a few yrs ago if we were separated or divorced lol

@@brendadrumm9708 Got you confused with the other Bridie

So truly

Like the old song.

Eamonn Keogh My own maternal grandfather looked and spoke just as this man does...full of wit and wisdom. He could keep you in stitches for hours, and scare the hell out of you at the same time. A breed long gone, and more's the pity.

TOO LAZY to write it properly 😂

Zzzzzz

@@lmtt123 Sorry I bored you . It takes all kinds doesn't it now

@@annmcgranaghan2131 don't mind him Ann. Many Irish ended up in scotland.👍 May your grandad RIP🇮🇪🙏

@@ggg-eg5pz I thank you for your kindness. He doesn't bother me at all. Always loved my visits to Ireland. Best wishes to you.

@@annmcgranaghan2131 as I did to scotland, I gave 2 years driving a machine on the aberdeen bypass. Lovely town and I must say the finest looking women in scotland 😄👍🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I think she left for work. Came home once a year! He saw her when he was 9 and did not recognise her! Wild stuff. 😮

Was he JJ Murphy who owns Murphy brewery 😎if so he got all Cork drunk.

Ah how lovely

The journalist passed away in 2017, at the young age of 36. RIP.

She had to leave to find work.

@@kylemyers971 if he had left,," " looking for work"" and left her to bring up the kids. would your comment be the same.

@@theeaskey Well yeah, that happened all the time in Ireland. Men often left their families behind and emigrated to America and England to find work. There’s a good song about this called ‘Come My Little Son’.

in England aron thats why he only saw his mother once a year , trains and boats then ...

You should be a detective with them skills

Fingers are gone

@@jp5210 They were not amputated, they were badly arthritic.

Lol

The China flu hahaha muppet.
