Some of these toys shown were displayed on the Late Late Toy Show in 1984 hosted by Gay Byrne. Then the Late Late Toy Show could incorporate the word "Toy" as an integral part, ( unlike nowadays where 95% of the show shows acts by dancing children )

True I grew up in the 70s and 80s and I hated the Billy Barry kids ruined the show for me.

@@rudithedog7534 I couldn’t stand those Billy Barry kids either.

I think that jig they’re playing at 1:24 is “Old Man Dillon.”

It would be hard to convince the people in Cork that the 22000 Euro house in Ballincollig would be 400000 euros in 40 years time.🙂

"Rubbish is out" as a gift. What? No rubbish for Christmas? The wains will be disappointed.

Nah 80s was worse. 17% unemployment, you couldn't complain about paedo priests and the Troubles. They were all 10 times worse than today's problems. Dublin 40 years ago was a total kip. Thank God it's not like that anymore. It's far from perfect today, but I remember then vividly. It's was far, far, far worse Anyone who thinks otherwise wasn't there, or lead a very charmed existence
