Thanks 🙏 a million for sharing these videos, of a time long ago, when we could go about our daily lives and mind our own business!

It is amazing to think of the life that those farmers lived. Some of them will have witnessed WW2 and some also witnessed WW1. They were tough hardworking people. Love these videos, very thought provoking.

That was filmed 55 years ago when I was 10 years old. 55 years before that was 1911. No doubt many of those boyos in this video clip observed or participated in the Irish revolution and then the civil war. How many stories they could (or could not) tell

Fantastic. Those were the days of real farmers’ markets.

Anything got to do with the old times I love watching. Really enjoyed this one thanks👍

Thanks very much for this.

this is the best youtube channel

Farmers with a collar and and tie, pockets bulging with cash. Great times indeed, Monday calf market, Tuesday farmers Dole day in Abbeyfeale. I remember it well the town was rocking pubs packed. Abbeyfeale had over 40 pubs back then. Now around half a dozenp pubs only. I remember the Sunday World paper done an article on Abbeyfeales pubs.A ghost town now, like all rural towns and villages they have lost their heart and soul.

Great work, as always. A true treasure trove of history. I frequented this mart many a time as a kid. 👍

The past is a far country! There isn't one obese man in the entire film.

I believe it is because people barely had enough to eat. Many people do not respond to exercise weight wise. It's all to do with what they consume. Some are lucky enough to respond to exercise also, but a small percentage.

The good old days

Great to look back to the sixties . Happy carefree days. And the great showband era

The Irish have a lot to answer for,with regard to their treatment of farm animals,and wildlife.I speak as an Irishman meself,so let's stop getting all sentimental with the comments.Michael Gaskell,(birth name O'Donovan.)

It is true that some people are cruel, but the vast amount of farmers treat their animals like their own family, with great love a care

@@michaelgaskell7408 I am in full agreement with you about cruelty to animals but I also know that the wrongdoings of a few is very often presented as being done by all and that applies in most other walks of life but it is not true. It is also very wrong to condemn the innocent.
