I was born in the Coombe in 1988. There’s such a strong chord within me that’s struck by watching this. Like there’s something in me I need to say, to expel, to make aloud. Tempus fugit.

Thanks for uploading ❤️

Brilliant

Looking at this from Manchester U.K. where I’ve lived for 23 years and where I still have extended family in Ireland, little did we know back then that our country was doomed by corruption of all kinds that was lurking behind the scenes since 1916 & 1922 and yet now, by comparison, we are facing far greater enemies that we have ever faced at any point in recorded history aimed at our total destruction - chances were missed back then, as there had been in the 1960’s, to put a stop to this impending destruction, by rigidly enforcing the moral teachings of the Catholic Church by the use of military force and martial law and setting up a dedicated armed Catholic military morality police along the lines of the Crusades, the Inquisition and in a similar way to how Islamic Sharia Law is enforced in Muslim countries - had this been done far sooner, we would not be in our current situation today - yet our struggle for freedom was doomed from the start, given the infiltration and corruption of Irish freedom movements since the beginning of the 19th century and beset by opposition from the Catholic Church and traitors from within the ranks

Dublin was much nicer in 1988 than it is today. Its continuing decline today is alarming. There is no evidence of a vision for Dublin from those who should have one. We are now wealthier, but poorer at the same time, if that makes sense.

Halcyon days.

My Limerick parents dream to live in Dublin I'll live an even greater dream for us all Da🕊

Soccer euros 1988, 🇮🇪 🇮🇪 🇮🇪 mr ray houghton

I left in 1987 because of a poor economy and knifing politicians but nothing compared to these globalist swines😢

The provisional Irish army…. In 1922?!!!!!

That year for me was all about Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Beastie Boys, Skateboards, Girls and sneaking into town on the Dart when I was only meant to be down in Monkstown.

Dublin’s’ great in ‘88!

Jesus its a shit hole now

Its a shithole now

Spent the first part of my life 0-40 in Dublin and now 40-77 in Australia but my heart is still in Dublin. Went back last year and spent many days just wandering around the city. It has changed greatly but is still the same in so many ways. It is still "the town I loved so well"!

Dublin 2024 is a horrible place. it's not for the Irish anymore😢

great to watch I was 18 at that time and loved Dublin city, it has changed too much now for me to see it in the same way..... What a great job your dad did he incapsulates the true Dublin accent completely

There were about 62 babies born on Jan 1 1988. They were presented to the Lord Mayor during the summer at an event at the Mansion House. Each baby was give a replica Viking ring in silver to commemorate the day.

The Dublin I loved so well...I must admit I weep now going into the city!!

I was born in holles street hospital in 1988 I miss Dublin so much my mam used to work beside guinness factory in births deaths and marriages in task force it's the yellow building I remember as a young child ( ST. Stephens or st. James ) I'm sure now it's all changed names by now. Now it's HSE. My dad worked in knocklyon as primary school teacher. I went to loreto primary school in rathfarnham and my brother went to de la Salle in churchtown ( I was raised in churchtown). Anyway I left Dublin in 2000 and live in Spain. I miss Dublin!!! Haven't been home to Ireland in 10 years!!!!

Well I am glad that Nelson was blown off his perch. We need lads like them boys today.

There's no place like home

Before the godless baby killers we have today

And now ?

Thanks for a most memorable walk through the Dublin I grew up in . How I miss it,wish I could afford to retire there,not so much the newer parts,but auld Dublin,the Dublin of Behan ,kava agh et al,and to hear Ronnie’s account is as musical as his ballads. TEMPEST FUGIT☘️🤟

hyup

Could anybody share to me how Dublin's economic life looks like back in 1970s-1980s ? Im doing a research currently, your reply would be very helpful

is it a comedy program or Holy Mass?, let pope Francis should not see this.

Oh to go back and buy a few acres of those unused docklands.

The amount of green in the port at the opening all containers, tanks and roads now

Dublin 🍀💚❤️💚 🍀👍🙂🙃🙂

Very good

Actually Dublin was founded in the mid 9th Century by the Vikings. The Millenium of 1988 was a marketing stunt.

It's a very different place these days, good in many ways and bad in so many other. Very commercialised and homogenised like any other Eurpoean city.

Good video but I don't agree on Nelsons Pillar. I'm a Dub and I heard many Dubs 'delira' that the Pillar was gone.

god were have yrs gone

She

To be described as aborigines by the Protestant provost of Trinity College, shows there's some houses still yet to burn.

I left Dublin 24 years ago best Decision I ever made what a shit hole

Sad to see dublin now. Hardly no irish people left

It's empty compared to today. 2020

Amazing bro. Smiles all round.

🎊

Lol backwards 1980s Ireland afraid to say the great Oscar wilde was super gay and proud. Instead makes out he was corrupt by success. God I'm grateful to be young in modern Ireland. I'd have been one of the many who fled back then. Happy to call modern Ireland my home.

Hi Ronan, is there a way to DM you to ask a question about your Dad's video? Thanks, Jason.

It's changed a lot

Hey Ronan, have sent you a massive on google hangouts, please have a look. This is class.

wonderful accent onthe voiceover, marvellous voice....great footage too though the script sometimes a whit rosemantic but that's Dubelin for you
