Eamonn Mac Thomais - Dublin, A Personal View - The Liberties Part 2

Eamonn Mac Thomais, with the help of RTÉ, made a series of these programmes in the late 1970s. These programmes show some less well known spots in Dublin. Some that are no longer around today.

Played in that graveyard as a kid.. Living behind it in the Iveagh Trust.. 13 ABlock. Happy days.

Is that where now stands the little Park beside St Patrick's Cathedral? I used to live up the road and would sit in there for my lunch now and again. Walked through it daily and never knew.

[@edwardspearing5148]

@@flahfact No Mike.. It was located on the left hand side of lower New Street across the road from a turf yard and The Gullivers. The area was converted into the houses you see today. Don't know what became of the old Hugenot graves. A garage was as i remember just to the side.

[@supafuckinmingster]

Love this guy................wish he was still around today. He's so proud of his roots and history. That seems to be taboo today unless you're of African origin, otherwise it seems you're an Aryan supremacist.

Good man Michael the future belongs to People Like You.

That goes for every Irish person born in Ireland regardless of his ethnic or racial origins OK.

[@andrewlyng4855]

Ahhh yes....but we Irish went wherever we could to make a better life for ourselves.

[@sands7779]

Widen your history lens- previous migrants to Ireland were from the middle east, the Steppes, Gaels, Vikings, Normans and British.
