Gone are the days when they'd be dances at the crossroads,you'd be run over tday.,too many cars on the country roads.....no more bastibles on the fire place....no more turf houses,no more cock fights...no more cockle picking ..the commercial dreges take them all.....these are some of de good tings that are now gone .....and many bad tings thst are now here .....! The aboriginal iriish the roaming clans are almost extinct...!

I was born in the 1950s in Co. Galway, on a farm. The travellers/itinerants/tinkers were part of our lives. Traveller families would visit certain settled homes ie the many homes of people who would help them (my parents included) while avoiding the settled families who would ignore them - and there were many of them too. Normally the traveller women would beg for white flour, sugar, fresh milk and coins. The men would collect scrap metal, make and sell buckets and deal in horses and donkeys. Ireland back then was nothing like it is today. It was assumed in the past that the Travellers were people who were evicted during the great Famine of the mid 1800s and did not return to their original homes. This has now been shown to be wrong thanks to DNA testing etc. The Irish Travellers are now proven to be an ethnic minority group which is at least 1000 years old. Amazing Ireland.

Not fun

What year was it

Sad Story !!!

Sad Story !!!

This video was taken around county offaly

Trades/craftspeople men and women. they had almost nothing but the side of the road and even that was not theirs to own. They had to learn to be wise and cunning just to survive and that is not said in a nasty way. How they managed to survive in the wet and bitter cold on the wet and damp earth under noting more than a bit of hessian or canvas. The travelers were treated a little like the native Indians of the USA. Many settled people feared the travelers, they were the unwanted people, yet if we were to check back in time we would find that all those people are related to us

This seems very organic and far out seen from todays market atmospheres and hysteria about safety And passing around a little bogarde around the campfire too 👍👍

Have u any more tapes of this
