Dublin’s days as second city of the empire had long passed by 1911. The cities of Manchester Birmingham and Glasgow (to name just 3) were much bigger and more important than Dublin by 1911. In fact it could be argued that it wasn’t even the first city of Ireland by then, as it had been outstripped in size and importance by industrial Belfast.

A great presentation but an over emphasis on blaming others. Ireland had political leaders who were representing their constituents in the parliament in London. They held the balance of power… ultimately we get the society that we vote for. The point about Irish politician s being corrupt is very relevant. Irish politician betrayed Irish people in exactly the same way as is occurring in 2022.

I bet you never were without shoes, food, or a job. Ireland and its people have one of the highest standards of living in Europe and the world, we are almost a welfare state but that still doesn't satisfy the socialists who never tire of spending someone else's hard earned money. There is a housing shortage because people in government and the public service haven't got the courage to admit as a small partitioned island we can't take all the world's problems and refugees on to our own national and domestic problems. No one supported us or wanted to know us during the fight for freedom, now they see us as a soft touch for easy money.

Why? If Dublin was "the second city of the Empire" why weren't those poor people living in decent conditions with plenty of food and a job? In today's Ireland if a woman doesn't want a child for any reason she has the right under law to kill that baby in her womb up to three months old. Looks like we are moving backwards instead of forward. The right to life is the basic of all human rights, although the socialists will say"not so". They are the same people who will complain if a tree is cut down or a bed of snails is disturbed during the building of a new motorway. Sad isn't it?

What the hell are you talking about? The brits!!?!? Listen you idiot, working class are working class no matter whether you were/ are in Ireland or uk. How dare you. My great grandma and grandma live in the exact same abject poverty as what is portrayed in this video but in Liverpool England. My grandma had 9 kids, a good catholic women, 5 kids died.She died from sheer exhaustion and diseases and starvation . How dare you claim to know that we didn’t suffer. The uk government did not and does not represent the populations of the uk. They are made up of rich, upper class, privileged people. The rest of the uk was struggling just like this. London, Manchester all the cities had terrible poverty and disease. Go educate yourself you ignorant Person.

Of seeing her brothers and sister die, be bitten by rats, run around in no shoes, no beds, begging for food. I can’t not believe people can be so ignorant.
