Prime Time 2008

Thank you for this video. My grandfather left Cork in 1921 and came to Ellis island. He was 21. I now know some of what he experienced.

Wonderful episode I loved it thank you.

My beautiful City ❤

Highly intelligent woman

1839? I remember it well. Big wind indeed.

I had no idea the amount of death and destruction the Brits did to the country. No videos are rarely shown that actually show this. No idea Cork was destroyed like this. After the Brits left the country turns on itself and does the same thing. Amazing and sad

Mr Gabriel Doherty a top notch historian in CCU

Clear British brutality firing at fireman cutting water hoses burning a big library 3 million pounds worth of damage despicable behavior

Legendary interview

The Briscoes were such nice decent men.

Albania 🇦🇱 🇦🇱 🇦🇱 is beautiful

My goodness what a total bu.......ter ...it wasn't in Glenammady he got that accent anyway!!...He was back in Ireland when he was 13 so his accent is totally put on to make himself look like one of the Landed Gentry!..lol...talk about a car crash interview....anybody could see that he is a liar and a bluffer

The only problem here in Ireland is that there is not enough Jews people living here, which is our loss.

Wonderful to watch this story of Irish Jews.

When Lloyd George introduced the Old Age Pension in 1908. Many older people in Ileland had no birth cert records. Instead the civil servents would ask the old person if "they remembered the night of the big wind". If they said yes, then they got the pension. Today, November 26th, is the anniversary of the great storm of 1703, that killed 10,000 people in the UK and Ireland. The winds over land reached 80-90 miles an hour and at sea, reached 140 miles an hour. We have never come close to such wind speeds over these islands since.

My great-great-grandma was less than 3 months old living in Carrick-on-Shannon on the day. It's a miracle her family survived.

Good job folks

Damn Micks :)

A baby was born that night and they called her Blath no Stoirm

My only problem with all of this, is that the rabbi is Orthodox. Why too many Jewish communities throughout Europe are led or represented by an Orthodox rabbi. As if the Orthodox are the only denomination that matters. I am Conservative and it is an insult to my intelligence that all too often I am met by an Orthodox rabbi who thinks of me as nothing. We were the reason why the fascists of the Second World War hated us so much was because we were able to balance tradition with progression. I do like this video, but I believe it to be myopic as per the Orthodox.

Thanks for posting this. Friel is my favourite author and it was just great to watch this. Thanks so much!

If that happened now they would use it to bring in a carbon tax, can you imagine the screeching from the fake environmentalists

the music is ridiculous. Probably the only person involved in Irish politics in recent years that's worthy of respect
