Its a crime that the old Corpo Fruit market is now used as a storehouse by builders. I remember coming 100 miles journey up from Carrick on Suir with me Dad to see Mr.McNulty and Mr.Rogers' fruit stall. Priceless memories. The fruit market should be done up and used as an exhition centre

Tony Gregory: the template for a people's politician. This is a brilliant documentary, and beautifully narrated by Karen Dowling. Thank you.

I think it's in the Irish DNA to make the best of everything and be thankful for what you have....it's how we survive this kind of life....I know I have strong Irish blood in my veins...

i am from india and living in ireland from past 20 years. so greatful to watch the history about ireland. and to be honest old ireland looks so much like india the entire vibe of community spirit, though its sad to see that american culture is now taking over. we have same economic issues, we still do people are struggling hard just to keep roof over their heads and have food for the kids. police in india are horrible except will take bribe of 10 euros and let you sell your stuff.

enjoyed this very much

the iveagh market what a disgrace at present

It's great to see the continuous improvement in Dublin. I remember the derelict buildings, the terrible poverty and squalor of the 70s and 80s and the place has transformed. It's a vibrant and thriving city now. I've no patience with those who try to run down the systems that have brought us here and away from those dark days. If you don't like it - do something about it, get involved in politics. If you are just going to whinge though... spare us.

You're right.. A lot of Dubs moved to Liverpool in the 40's, 50's & 60's and they blended in effortlessly. Even you're dish Scouse contains the same ingredients as Irish Stew. My grandmother came from Cheshire and we've got family living in Liverpool. I can totally get the Dublin/Liverpool accents. We've even got similar sense of humours.

that is correct. No doubt because of the hundreds of years of people emigrating to Britain landed in the port of Liverpool. A journey made by millions with a huge percentage settling in Liverpool and Manchester to find work throughout the industrial revolution. Affectionately known as the 33rd county. The strong links can be found in the countless scousers with Irish surnames and very similar accents. The same can be said for Belfast and Glasgow

I was born in Lurgan St. All my family are from around here. I could write a book or ten. It was tough back then 60,70,80s, poverty unemployment big families. Good time's bad time's you just rolled with the knocks. Went to George's Hill and Brunner same as John, I also hated it. I worked in the Market and I worked in the clothing trade as a Top and underpresser. The contras then to now is like landing on the moon, the change. Dublin was falling down then. Progress without the heart and soul to go with it. We are the last of the school of hard knocks. Moore St is gone, maybe five stalls left. Shop's along the street are Polish and African. It's heart breaking walking through it today. Most of the people interviewed in this film are dead now. The legent Tony Gregory also gone. One major opstical to integration, Apartments are not people friendly. No matter what way they build them, they don't bring people together they are not family friendly . You can't make a community in apartment complexs. They are not configured to bring people together. I've even noticed that the people who bought up most of the old Artisan house's around the city haven't gelled like they taught they would. This is because they weren't born and bread in the house's like the people before them. They had no history and no foundation. Now they are isolated because everyone feels the same and no one's trying. I can see and feel it when I walk around them, it's like a ghost town north and south of the liffey where these are . Pity 🇮🇪

If you look at the surnames of these "Irish " street sellers, you'd find the majority of them names mentioned are of foreign extraction who are of either immigrant/invader extraction. Names like Proudfoot, Burke, Gregory, Buckley, Giles, Bodie, Owens, Jennings, Myles, Hayden, you're ignorance is astounding. And I can assure you, not one of these "Irish" have a word of Gaelic on their lips. in fact you'd get dagger looks from them if you spoke Irish to them. Dublin Jackeens selling dodgy fish and veg.

Your are lucky Giles,

State fgael ordered this

The gardi were such a bunch of cowards.

Moore Street is.. to say the least.. slightly bunched lol

Moore Street now rings with the sound of "cigarettes/tobacco". These women who sold poor quality fruit and vegetables to those who would not know any different now used the same pitches to flog illegally obtained tobacco products - usually bought in from their second homes in the canaries etc. Moore street is not a cultural thing - it should be closed down once and for all the genuine fruit/flower pitches at other parts of the city better regulated. Ditto Henry Street at Christmas with its dangerous toys and fake perfume. Please do not glamourise what is going on at the moment - its criminal - nothing less.
