Great footage. So emotional watching this. 😢 I came to live in West Cork in 1982 and love Cork city. There's one small bit in the middle however, that's actually from Inistioge, Co Kilkenny. I have relatives there and have been visiting it since I was a child, that's how I recognised it. It's still footage of the rampaging Tans, however. They had their headquarters in Woodstock House which is where they are heading towards in the clip. They committed terrible atrocities. I heard one awful story from my uncle many years ago. Anyway, just thought I'd let you know I spotted this. Doesn't make the video any less interesting, though! Brilliant stuff!

I am up in the Burren in North Clare watching this. Thanks for putting this together for us all.
