Sad to think that this was just as the Troubles was beginning.

The calm before the dirty storm.

Fascinating stuff, here. At the three minute mark when the gentleman is pondering about how things will be all over Ireland itself in 10-20 years from that moment. Makes you wonder, within the following months and years how these guys fared out in the Troubles around the corner, and what happened to them.

Is this a segment from a longer documentary? I would like to see the whole lot would anyone have it?

The troubles is a dark period in Northern Irish history and a complete and utter shame. Wrongdoing carried out on every side, tit for tat revenge. In reality, Northern Irish people couldn't be more similar. Yes many of us view ourselves as british and others as Irish (and plenty like me who view ourselves as both). But daily life is extremely similar, with the main difference coming from celebrations of easter and the twelfth. Its a shame that our society couldnt see it back then, but I honestly believe that the tide is turning.

@Luke Thomas Northern Ireland slang is unique to Northern Ireland, if anything Northern Ireland slang is more similar to Scotland than it is to The Free State.

@Luke Thomas I’m A dissident republican and an outspoken supporter of The New IRA, but I admit fully, People In the 6 counties, Catholic, Protestant, Nationalist, Unionist, Republican or loyalist have got more in common with people in Britain they do In the Cowardly 26 counties. I hate loyalists but at least they have guts, unlike people in the southern 26 counties who are peace loving hippies. I’m a Republican, but I’d rather Be friends with a Brit than a D4 Southerner.

How can one be British without being born there, growing up there, and having no recent relatives from there, makes no sense to me.

About a year before this was made I had left NI for London and in spite of the British passport in my pocket was discovering what the English felt about us. The only place where I have received racist remarks. It was crazy back then, Paisley was on the up'n up, and I have read recently that the DUP have put a Creationist at the head of the party. A science denier who believes that the earth is only 6 million years old and that there were dinosaurs on Noah's Arch so how crazy is it today more than 50 years down the road. A lost cause.

So polite.

the guy at 3:03 is very intelligent - makes excellent points that are true even today

I would like to think i'm wrong, but some of these people may well have become involved in paramilitary activity, taking in to consideration this is at the very beginning of the troubles. Young people always seem to be more progressive in their politics or beliefs.

And where have we got since this time apart from more graves and bad blood.

These are the upper class rich kids 95 percent of Irish kids would never of been able to afford a bottle of coke and there clothes were in far worse condition because you worked as soon as you could walk these bods never worked a day in there lives a bad representation of Ireland but all the same what a great bit of footage

@@rambler20111 The Protesant/Unionist community has been in NI for 400 years. Their dead are buried here, they have worked to make a living off the land or in factories here, and they've raised their families here for generations. They have the right to decide what happens here as much as their nationalist neighbours, even if I disagree with their decisions. But by and large, their ancestors originally came from England and Scotland, and genocided the Gaelic Irish inhabitants. The sons are not guilty for the sins of their forefathers, especially ones occuring 400 years ago, otherwise the whole world would be guilty of genocide, but that is certainly how they came to be in Ireland.
