As a young country boy from Limerick I went to Dublin when I was 16 , my Jesus my eyes were opened so quickly, if you close your eyes for a second somebody would buy you a drink if you close for two seconds They would steal the fiver in your hand, I grew up quick , I think deep down they love country people but did not trust them, because all the police were from the country and all the landlords from the country , I left when I was 26 came to Australia , there are so many Dublin people here as well , it seems like the longer they are here the more Dublin they become , One of the great Dublin songs not many sing it is /Dublin in my tears/ ☘️☘️☘️

Vanishing Ireland; vanishing Dublin. "The Rare AULD Times" replaced by the Plantation/Invasion quare auld times. My deep hearts core weeps and weeps bitterly. I feel that the Ireland we once knew, is slipping through our fingers. Beautiful poem. Thank you. 😉👍👏👏🙏 - Éire go Bráth

For 200 yrs the Irish went abroad looking for a better life. Immigrants relying on the kindness of others! Now immigrants are doing the same on Irish soil for the last 20 yrs and your bitter??

Yes I agree, it's a plantation for sure! These people are not refugees most of them! I'm also broken hearted!

#Dublin holds so many relatively recent memories of just how poor, excluded & hard life was for far too many. Yet our grannies, granddas, mums & dads lived lives so solidarity between each other. Sharing the little they had. Including grief, sadness € joys.

So many wonderful memories of the Auld Dublin, marvellous ☘️💚

This catches the real Dublin character

[@Tombuchaill]

To see the state of it now, our ancestors I'm sure are disgusted with us!

My Dad use to tell me about Bang Bang and 40 coats. I was born and reared in Dublin but sadly there and abroad people continue to say, your not Irish, where are you really from? 😮
