Children Build A Swimming Pool in Limerick, Ireland 1967

Eugene (regarding the hard work), "It's worth it for what you'll get out of it." Important life lessons for all the children involved and a source of pride for parents and the community.

I’d love to see the final product! Does anyone have any photos or video?

[@thomasraymer1085]

We’re all proud of them. The town has given their families free peat and a great deal of stew.

Those were the days when children could see themselves established in the future, and could gather in work together to achieve their dreams. Today they would rather build this construction using AI and their smartphones, not seeing each other on their own eyes. Beautiful times. Missing them much. Thank you for this upload.

You're completely wrong. You've over-estimated modern youth. They would not be so productive. They'd use the smartphone to mindlessly scroll on an endless social media loop. Source: am youth.

@@hisnameisthebest9283 Nice to hear it young boy. All the best !

Those kids are only around 70 now, so there must be some info among viewers on where it ended.

If ever the song when Irish eyes are smiling was more apt it was for that 13 year old girl absolutely beautiful gleam in her eyes

Some people say child labor is a bad thing, I think that it is good for children to do some work, it is good for their minds, they will learn some good skills and get some good exercise, it is far better for them than playing computer games and other internet rubbish that can damage some young minds. Good on you young children in Limerick 1967 you are a great example to children of today

[@P5YCHO1192]

This is for them, so it's a good thing. But kids working for someone elses profit is wrong.
