Great photos,really enjoyed watching thank you

[@leemoliam8306]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@heydj6857]

i wish the video was longer, with longer pauses on each picture, they all tell a million stories and the places, we would love to all know the places, some i know, but to people outside of ireland, they'd be like where the feck is that ? lol thanks for the video, really enjoyed it.

[@leemoliam8306]

Agreed - we should have made it longer with bigger pauses. - we were young and foolish in the early days !!!!

[@Omegajunior2658]

Thanks for showing your then and now photos of my home city Dublin, Ireland!

[@leemoliam8306]

You're welcome - check out the Facebook page with the same title

[@Omegajunior2658]

Cheers but unfortunately I'm not on Facebook anymore because I decided to exit Facebook since late May 2015. I just found it too complicating, confusing and stressful like there are far too many information about people's personal lives. I used to enjoy using Facebook and it used to be fun and exciting for myself but NOT anymore. I'm really sorry about that. Anyway Facebook can be very boring and there are lots of crap 💩 on Facebook as well. Facebook is a real time waster and so are Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram I guess. From now on I dislike Facebook and I don't like Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram either.

[@leemoliam8306]

Agreed - I very seldom use Facebook for personal posts.

[@Omegajunior2658]

OK 🆗

[@theocostello]

I came for the pictures but I stayed for the music.

[@therealleonidas229]

Old dublin looks a lot better

[@653j521]

Yeah, it's hard to beat clouds of dust and smoke, and of course the armed men were a nice touch.

[@bmac4846]

A great tour...enjoyed it-thanks you

[@paulbroderick8438]

It always amazes me how churches, town halls and governmental buildings always remain totally intact and unaffected by city renovations. Certain 'ordinary' areas could well be left intact, also. Greetings from the USA. Good presentation. Thank you.

[@leemoliam8306]

Unfortunately, several of our ornate churches have been destroyed for the sake of progress. We've highlighted a few on our Facebook page.

[@jimmyadams520]

Excellent

[@markgoddard2560]

That’s the weirdest elevator music I’ve ever heard. Anyone know what the single word was sung by the backing group?

[@francish5401]

Please upload more videos Many thanks.

[@carolincanada1]

Captions would be useful!

[@Tombuchaill]

You should see it now!

[@staffy4389]

Long before it was the kip you see today 😂 , good video.👍

[@trinadhkumarbejjanki]

Wow!!!!

[@khiggins8733]

2:18 is Parkgate St on the left and Lord Edward St on the right

[@Baskerville22]

Churches and monuments stay forever

[@buffi944]

Dread full sixties buildings

[@MikeL-7]

2:19 wrong, that’s Parkgate Street on left.

[@leemoliam8306]

Have a look at the old buildings on Parkgate Street - they're completely different. This shot has been debated on other sites and it has been established as Lord Edward Street.

[@khiggins7231]

Unfortunately not the same location. This doesn’t take away from a great video though.

[@emmams5]

@@leemoliam8306, I think the OP is right, behind the soldiers is the junction of Infirmary Road and Parkgate Street. It would make more sense to be Parkgate St as Collins Barracks was on Infirmary Rd. www.dailyedge.ie/then-and-now-dublin-photos-1827308-Jan2015/

[@emmams5]

@@leemoliam8306, btw, great slideshow, at least the so called modern architects and developers didn't get to desecrate all of Dublin in the last 60 years.

[@leemoliam8306]

@@emmams5 We spent some time on this photo. It had been regularly posted as Infirmary Road, but the background buildings didn't add up. When we checked further, we found the proof - which doesn't show up on our old KZbin video above. If you contact us through the Dublin Then And Now Facebook page - send us a message - we can show the comparison which proves we're right - it's definitely Lord Edward Street...Liam

[@Ligerpride]

Great video, thank you. Interesting that Trinity college and certain inner city streets stay very much the same. The most stark image in my opinion was Grafton St @ 1:55. Also interesting to see the military presence around the city and how empty much of the streets were. The saddest image for me though was Smithfield. Granted it wasn't perfect before, but this "modern" urban warehouse of city slaves is depressing. From an aesthetic point of view it looks very unpleasant.

[@Marlondurran]

See me and me mate Phillip lynott at 45 sec 👍

[@Marlondurran]

@Honking Honker like all legends we can love forever!!

[@AwesomeAngryBiker]

Is that Cabra at 0:46. If so any idea when where and who :/

[@leemoliam8306]

No - that's Crumlin with Phil Lynott in the pic

[@bernardmurphy2722]

No time to have a proper look at the pictures, also street names would help.

[@edmundpower1250]

Press the pause button

Old Dublin looks much better. When Dublin was safe to live in.
