[@wilfredwilde9559]

I can remember it being used on Radharc and other programmes when I was young .Brought back memories as soon as I saw it .Thanks for your information.

[@SuperNapolitanka]

Once upon a time, Del, Rodney and Grandad went on a little fishing trip.

Gone poaching doo dooo doooo

[@timcotter8879]

I remember so many stories from around my area about poaching from that time, There were reports of a couple of, bailiffs, from a nearby village who used to be on the lookout for poachers in the nearby river Feale , There was a Bailiff in a place in Kerry who had the reputation of being very diligent,on one occasion poachers knew that he was attending a social and put the heads of two salmon on his gate with a notice near the salmon ,,,Where were you when I needed you most,, This Radharc programme was one of a few that were made in the early sixties, Another was Honesty at the Fair which featured the local Abbeyfeale town .

Phantom of the opera is a yellow belly finch? 😂 no wonder they used the pineal gland for the templar cover while then deploying photosynthsis rainbows 😂

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

I noticed the gate thats why i deploys the melinda red hot sauce 😂

[@tech9auto223]

He's says the angling club is only a pound what hes not telling you is a pound would a lot more than a week's wages to a man with a family it's the same today I'm a Scotsman I can't go fish my local river unless I pay some lord thousands they don't want ordinary people fishing last year it was people like Ian Botham Chris tarrant basically celebrity folk I saw them but they didn't see me

[@pauljones8218]

same with my local river which is the river wye posh people get the chance to fish for the salmon which many locals dont get a sniff and if you are lucky you might get a odd day ticket for the cost of a arm and leg the ones with the money get the fishing but its always been that way

[@samthomson8218]

Lanrick ?

[@samthomson8218]

Are you on about lanrick mate ?

[@richardshiggins704]

Ireland was priest ridden at the time .

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

Use them to put up the pole? fergie la la la la has lost its voice so the pole can go there so the finch can escape 😂

[@noelmaher4633]

When the poaching signs were in Irish/English only..Now we have acquired a taste for Perch, Bream, Roache and Pike..😉

[@kid--presentable]

Yea foreigners

[@Charactermatters650]

The real crime is that the common man can’t afford to Salmon fish in Ireland as most land surrounding rivers is not for public use and is very costly to stand on the land and fish in the river (even with a license). In the USA it’s a very different story and the common man can navigate a river on foot without fear of being locked out by private landowners - Freedom in America and complete control by the elites in Ireland. Seems contrary to the Irish Spirit, locking folks out of the fishing.

[@patrickmorris8934]

No salmon to be had anyway.

[@moonlightttt156]

Watching and trying catch poachers. Shame back then there wasnt some one to keep an eye on the priests

If RTE was reporting on poaching in 2022 ,there is a good chance the presenter would be of african descent .

[@albertafarmer8638]

People who are desperate for fish and catch some on crownland aren't stealing in my opinion and I'm a Christian. People who are stealing for fun are terrible and should be charged.

[@tonyclifton265]

why didnt irish people eat fish during the 1848 potato blight and famine?

[@malsmith1618]

They wouldn’t have had the resources to feed 10 million people on a diet of fish

[@johnmcintyre800]

They wud be transported if they not shot when they caught

[@tonemc6047]

It wasn’t famine it was genocide.

[@jamestracey5958]

Good question Tony I asked myself that for years only to find out recently that it was not a famine at all but a genocide there are shipping records of thousands of pounds of food being shipped out of the country while many were dying of starvation

[@hj1651]

Well given the fact it was genocide not a famine idno how you’d expect people to go get fish when they were shipped off to county Clare to the coast to live (the majority of survivors ) thrown off their land by the English and put deliberate on a location where food couldn’t grow and left there to die off , they were good enough to be out picking the resources and the food and handing them over to the British including the tons upon tons of grain given so the brits could sell it back to their own people and feed their soldiers but they weren’t good enough to be kept alive, so idno how you’d expect people a handful of people to eat fish when they’ve been sent to their death after they weren’t needed anymore full stop
