I get so sad everytime I watch this video at least we have the memories ❤
my heart and soul is still there... god bless the good old days..
I worked there Summer 1974, Winter 74, Summer 75, Winter 75 and Summer 76, great memories .
I was there '88-'90 ...3 great summers. Worked in the kitchens as a welly boy. I remember Danny who used to empty the swill. Still see him around Drogheda. Action man who used to stir the soup. The two mad brothers who used to work on the plate machine. PJ who used to empty the bins. These were mosney hardliners and Mosney was their life. Have to say I had some great times there....Bring it back!!!!!!
Oh what memories,I sang there for 13 seasons with various bands.in the ballroom,Dan Lowreys, remember the Rock ballroom...happy days.
i say bring it back !!.. i love mosney and always will .. was brought there since i was 1 ..:(
We enjoyed wonderful holidays there from 1961 through to 1966. Looking at this brings back some lovely childhood memories of much more simple times..
make me cry as its all gone
Wonderful place for kids and indeed parents way back in the day. Every day was different with loads of events and competitions to keep everyone happy and entertained. The chairoplanes in the fun park were our favourite.My abiding memory was the tannoy system with a cheery wake up call in the mornings and the trumpet music playing during the day.Have you ever been lonely and blueberry hill were the great recurring tracks.Best holiday ever. It was truly a wonderland for kids .🎠🎡
i worked there 97-98 driving the tractor delivering kegs around the camp with a mad lad from kilkenny. Conrad and Roland were in charge retail sales and a mad cork women looked after the candy shop. Would love make contact with anyone from them years
nowhere in Ireland like this now was an amazing place, bring it back please
I cannot ever see Mosney ever opening again as a holiday attraction. Possibly as a visitors centre or theme play park.... but definitely never as a commercial venture. It just is not viable. Profit is not made on memories! But my memories of the place are brilliant. I am just sad that my Mum and Dad are no longer living to relive it with me!
Miss it sooo much
My bro John was a redcoat in 2000, he is singing on this track, great wee tune, brings back some very nice memories, thanx for posting it :o)
I still listen to this oh the memories of money the amusement the pool the ball room the chipper beside the ballroom and so much more places I'll never forget loved it so much
I was there in 2000!!! :) and i still have this cd! :P with the RedCoats autographs! :P I always remember Lindsey... :P Ooh, and the cute dude!! :P God, the memories!!! :)
Was there in 97 and 95. Lads it’s sadly missed it was craic at its simplest. My mom said it was a holiday that paid for itself. I’ve a 6 month old myself and it’s a shame there’s nothing like this there now. From what I heard center parks is a rob. At least we have the memories
from 1968 to 1975 we went as a family my mam and dad two brothers , uncles aunts and cousins. What a great time we all had one year my brother won the bonny baby .

I was a redcoat back in 86 I use to hang out with Mick Kearns. Godfrey and red head lisa another guy called Martin. think his surname was harrel. where did you work
The whole place is a time capsule of when it closed just sitting there hardly changed!!!
worked there in 78 and 79 in the riding stables
I loved this place, some things may be better kept as memories though, would it be the same if it did open again, i have my doubts!!...loved it though!!

youre right. the time it was also makes it
I remember getting served in Dan Lowery's at 17 🤣 The Dublin lads suggested I get a pint and join them for a scoop, so I sauntered up and with my Clare accent I said a pint of Bud please, I was now a man 😊 I'm 45 now off the hooch since 2003
great place to go to
I miss mosney as well it's sad they closed it down
I remember getting caught mooning out the windows in the swimming pool by the lifeguard she came over blowing her whistle made a show of me
I remember the life guards with their whistle and the biggest fucking power trip.. Coud'nt fart without them blowing the thing.
bring back Mosney and the Community Games
i have one photo from '88 of a few of us in a chalet. Meself and a few of the barmen
Redcoat at Butlins, Skeggy year 2000 right here 🙋🏻♂️
😢 Happy Days
MANY HAPPY TIMES LONG AGO AT BUTLINS , A FANTASY WORLD IN THE 60'S...then it closed in 2000. about the same time the whole island of Ireland became a land of make believe
@Almwitch I only went once in the summer of 1994 I think it was, but it was brilliant. faint memories considering I was only 5 but still brilliant
We need Mosney back open, it is still viable to be a holiday centre again and visitor numbers will increase again. I've had a few dreams about the Mosney Holiday Centre, paticularly the Funtropica World when I was about 5 years old before I've even heard of the place for real or seen photos of the camp. So in a way, I too have memories of this place. But yes, I can see Mosney reopening as a holiday attraction again.

It would cost a fortune to restore all the old chalets and that again.
