Slavery, I'm a 60s baby. I know poverty, been around it most of my life. I know many that had absolutely nothing growing up. Thing's have changed a little for some but many are still in poverty. We deserve better, we've had to endured for a century, the scraps. We've laboured, time to pay back for pain, suffering and hard labour to feed the fat cat's.

@@nickbrennan3389 Thank you! I'm an Irishman, oddly enough came to London during the Celtic Tiger. Your words resonate with ANY human being. I think voters will start acting accordingly. As an Irishman, I am aware of discrimination: I am not alone in this. I am an emigrant and neither proud or ashamed to be so. We came here for decent pay for decent work.

When I was growing up in Ireland in 1960's, in a small town I knew of tent farmer family who lived in small cottage on church land, this family had 20 fine strapping children 10 boys and 10 girls, they walked 8 mile a day to and from school, they had nothing fancy, knitted and made their own lovely clothes, even their leather boots and shoes, they were not " trendies" just hard working Irish family, all of them excelled in their education, all of them went on to become successful adults as teachers, doctors etc, etc, they are testimony to fact how many children you bring into this world is not a barrier to how you succeed in this world, this family fully supported each other, they were determined to get on in the world, especially get on in Ireland, they were wonderful teachers, they reminded me of the Kennedys, all for one and one for all.

Tenent farmer

@biffin62

I worked with a man from Mullingar who grew up there in the forties and fifties. He was one of ten children. His father died when he was very young, leaving his mother to bring them up alone. They were unpopular in the community because his father had been in the British army in WW1. As soon as he was able he was send out to work with his brother digging out farmers' cess pits. One day they had no food at all and he went to the priest's house to ask for help but the priest told him to get out because 'he was having his dinner'; something he never forgot. He was a lovely guy (I hope he's still alive) but he had very little education because of his upbringing and struggled to read and write. So, massive respect to those tenant farmers but I think you'll find plenty of other stories of large families where it didn't all work out so well.

@@biffin62 I was a child labourer in north Donegal in the '80s, right into the '90s. Money sent back from England saved Ireland in those times, and before. There is no more England because of racist anti-white mass genocidal immigration, and soon it will be the same in Ireland if Ireland does not quit the EU. The EU means uncontrolled invasion of anti-white racists. That is its sole raison d'etre.

The point I was really trying to get across in my story was the tenant farmer worked church land, the church had their back at all times, the church made sure they got free further education beyond the age of 14, the church did for them what they were reluctant to do for the children of the factory worker or other children of the working classes, the point I'm making is the power of education.

I've always said 'Thank God poverty is not catching...'

some things are still so similar in regard to poverty and decent living wages in Ireland

1:47 - and here we see the infamous TV aerials of Dublin and the east coast back in the 60s. Huge aerials on the roof which were causing problems with flights into Dublin airport. All to get BBC and ITV from with Northern Ireland or Wales, in addition to Telefis Eireann.

Jobs were few and far between in the 60's. Have no idea how families without a little farm survived. Here in US, we are always donating to food banks - churches and all sorts of organizations are involved. Many companies organize clothing drives where employees donate new coats, etc. Some organizations have programs to adopt a family for the holidays and give children toys, etc. What I am saying is that there is a way out of hardship if people pull together and give a little. It all adds up. For instance, if every household who can afford it, could give just one food item such as a box of cereal, soup, etc. It would help immensely. Organization is the key and no child should go hungry. Today, people who never asked for help are lining up at food banks. Covid has affected everyone as well as inflation. I urge people in every community to organize and contribute a little. There is so much enjoyment that comes from helping out a little. By the grace of God go i, you, and all of us. Blessings galore. Get children on board and you will Ser how creative they are in collecting food for their less fortunate buddies. Blessings to all and yes, we can find solutions. USA formerly Eire

The snobbery in Ireland in the 60's was quite shocking - a legacy from our colonial days I suppose. It still exists I am sure but its not as blatant as back then. My Dad worked in the ESB as a labourer but we were always short of money but a lot of it was down to wastefulness and bad money management. I remember we had to make a case to my mother for new school books as she never believed us that the teachers had demanded we get them and thought we were operating some scam to simply get money out of her. I was only able to do my leaving certificate examination because I had worked summer jobs two years in a row and saved up the money for the books. I became a garda in the early 80's and was later promoted sergeant so I suppose I am an example of person coming from a poor and difficult upbringing making a go of life. I have always had a lifelong aversion to alcohol, gambling and smoking though as I saw it as wasted money that could be used for better things and was the main cause of poverty in a lot of families.

No housing shortage and rent/mortgage only cost a quarter of their wages? They didn't know how good they had it!

The absolute bottom line is this is 1966. Just a few miles away, London, the swinging sixties, Carnaby Street, the pill, Stones, Beatles, Kinks, the British Movie industry. Seemed like the future to these folks. I don't want to cast any judgement on anyone. Lots emigrated for a better life. Whether they ended up with one, no one truly knows.
