That’s the Finglas that I knew and loved,born there in 1969 and spent the best years of my life there too, some of the finest people I ever knew came from there,good friends and good neighbours,I miss it as it was then,as I’m mid 50’s now I yearn back for those happier carefree times,we had very little but we had family.

My son was born in 1985 and lived with his mother's family on Casement Road, which I don't think is there on the video, but close enough. Fairly sure that green area on it's east side was bigger and the bypass wasn't there then; so they must have cut a swathe through it. We were at his Christening I think in that modern church you passed, or very nearby. I was a Corkonian but lived in Terenure and Ranelagh for 10 years until 1987 and been in London since. Before then, between 82 - '85, I took buses passed there on maybe North Road and then walked or hitch - hiked to take 5 flying lessons total on the then rural West side of the Airport to what was Iona Airways where I think the Tower is now. Sorry for the soppy story. Memories, huh. Thanks for the video. Looks about right, though I rarely went west of Casement Road.🙃
