I was in Germany at the time 15. I loved Europe and these young people in this video looked and acted like us.

The Last Rose of Summer. Love this song.

Thats fkn great 1st class not a track suit or hoodie in sight. The two girls at the start doing the Saturday night fever dance look cool just thought I'd mention it

Love it! I was 6 then.....I was 22 when I met Raymond Hart "Harter" scoring hash in Joseph's Mansions....the 5 spots & 10 spots....I wouldn't be surprised if he's somewhere in this clip...RIP Pal!

A grèať piece of history

I was in single digit age at this time. I still remember those years well, the summers, we had two or three very good summers! I remember thinking this must be the norm for summers! How wrong I was lol

Absolutely beautiful and brilliant.. 🤣

What a beautiful City Dublin is. Its the people who make it.

@@paulmcdonough1093 You ever notice how people in the country are always fucking moaning about Dublin, but yet, you never hear, barely ever, anyone here talking like that. Half of my family are from the country, and most of the people in the country are very nice people. Its you and your little tribe of hillbillys, probably on the dole. You don't know shit, Dublin makes almost all the money in Ireland. We're very nice people and i wont take that shit from any man and i'm not going to hate country people just because of some pigeon like you. Parts of Dublin are very poor and run down, parts of it are dumps yeah...but so what, that's nothing got to do with you though is it?, don't you worry. There's an old saying, ''the map is not the territory''.

At 27 seconds in, the white wooden porch top over the front door on the corner house in the background was "MAYVILLE" I think? I used to cycle from Portmarnock to Jones Road Johnston Mooney & O'Brien's depot for my summer and weekend job as a van boy in 1981, at 14 years of age. Remember passing that house each time on the way there and back. In addition, one of the Bread Men lived in the back of there, I can't remember his name but he was youngish back in 1981, had a semi-cleft palate if I remember, and the nicest guy you could imagine. I wonder if anyone recognises him from my description... he had a killer sense of humour, from what I remember..

What was his age in 1981? I was 13 in 1977 and used to go to the Dubs matches in Croke Park (for a bit of barney against the culchies). I remember a bloke who was a couple of years older than me and went to all of the matches on the terraces of the Hill and had a cleft palate and a "mot" who he brought along with him. He was definitely from the Ballybough area because he was always with blokes who were from there. Sorry - that's the best I can do but the cleft palate was distinctive

Playing football in those flares was tricky.

WOW This is brilliant

I'd love to see some footage of clondalkin in the early 80s-90s

Remember Dublin well this makes me sad to see left many moons ago

Such a simple vid - really captured the moment ... loved the soundtrack to it too, good job on that. Its not 'Joe Duffy' from RTÉ Radio who shot it tho' - I just heard that on RTÉ radio 26/06/2013 a few minutes ago, which is how I ended up here.

I used to hang out on that train line in the 90s, same buzz then, wonder what it's like now.
