Are You A Dubliner? Ireland 1975

Traders and shoppers on Moore Street talk about what it means to be a Dubliner.
People on Moore Street in Dublin describe what is good about the city. Jobs for culchies, Heffo and the Dubs, Gay Byrne, Noel Purcell, Molly Malone’s pub, Maureen Potter, and Rosie The Queen of Moore Street are all cited as good things about Dublin.
Rosie, now aged 88, has been working on Moore Street since the age of 10.
I was born and reared in number 12 across the road.
This episode of Last House was broadcast on 4 September 1975. The reporter is Áine O’Connor.
‘Last House’ was launched as a summer magazine programme featuring all the latest arts news in 1975. It was produced by John McColgan and presented by Tom McGurk and Áine O’Connor. It was so popular that it was converted into ‘First House’ for the autumn season, reverting to ‘Last House’ the following summer, when it was produced by Agnes Cogan.

The old woman at the end had been living in that street since she was ten, way back in 1897, I bet she could tell some tales! I couldn't help but notice the pretty girl behind the old girl singing, she must be around 60 today, I wonder if she has ever seen this recording?

KZbin have algorithms that delete perceived toxic, swearing & spammy comments. If your comments are getting deleted, you need to be more creative & express yourself with less negative/cuss words and don't copy/paste/spam the same comment over different videos. Free advice for you.

Funny how many comments are saying how Dublin has changed so much since then. Yeah, much better health prospects, better standard of living, better job and career prospects, better education and health for our children, better in almost every conceivable measure. And if it’s the immigration people have a problem with? Well, that’s rich coming from a nation of migrants who fled this wonderful country to far flung places all over the world for a better life. Some fled to escape famine. How hypocritical of us not to welcome those who come to Ireland for a better life. I thought we were better than that. Shame indeed

[@zakmartin]

It's true that Dublin is a lot more prosperous now, more cosmopolitan and with a higher standard of living than it had in the 1970s. Nevertheless it has very much changed for the worse over the last several decades. The character of the city has largely disappeared. The pace of life has accelerated. People walk faster. Traffic lights change more quickly. Everything has been sanitized. Cafe society has disappeared. There are no mad poets or eccentric characters on the streets anymoer. There are CCTV cameras everywhere (the trees in Temple Bar were cut down because they were obscuring the CCTV operators' view). Seats have been removed from locations all over the city to deter people from "loitering". Smoking is banned in pubs. Pub snugs no longer exist. Small, intimate cafes have disappeared (except for the trendy ones with tiny chairs and tables where the food options include muffins and flapjacks, and a pot of tea contains a single teabag). Junk shops are now antique emporiums. Cinemas are multiplex movie complexes. Most of the small bookshops have disappeared. Even getting on a Dublin bus is a completely different experience now than it was when this video was made. There is no chatting with the conductor (because there is no conductor). Buses, shops, restaurants, pubs, cinemas etc., have all become much more impersonal. Dublin was a city that felt like a town. Now it's a city that feels like a city.
