My grandparents are in this piece. They are in St. Joseph's in Tuamgraney during the mass. At one point the camera's focus on my grandmother. She passed away in 1976, when I was 6 years of age. But I still remember her so clearly. My grandfather is standing against the wall, as he always would do. He passed in 1979. This so brought back so many memories, and it was like seeing them both again.
I nice episode of the country of Ireland showing the history the Stone monuments Countryside the language they speak animals also the people who took care of the animals who are sick or injured and the way theydress andsocialize with each other
Wow, cool👍
2:19 - "pre-Christian monuments". Never heard such term. Like Megaliths stand there and waited for a saviour from Near East to consecrate them.
Take that, Rich the third, they forgot about your travels. Saracins still rule.
Not bad but a bit of a chocolate box pictorial. 02.25 The monolith in the "Burn?" It's the Burren.
The vet who lived in Scariff. As a child on holiday I often caught the bus out of Limerick to Scariff to get to O'Brien's Bridge, my father's home village. Never actually knowing where Scariff was.
I'm sorry there are no pictures of the Irish flag. I desperately search for colour film of the Irish flag from the 60s or 70s. If anyone is old enough to remember, the colours of the flag then are not what the colours are now.
Even if they did, you wouldn't be able to reliably tell the flag colour without knowing what film stock was used and its colour response. What's embarrassing is that a lot of Irish people would say the colours of their flag are green, white and gold, which completely flies in the face of the meaning of the flag - green for Irish republicans, white for peace and orange for unionists to the UK. Interestingly India took the Irish flag colours for their flag too as they saw Ireland as an example to follow in their fight for independence from the UK.
And it’s not a monolith. That word means one large stone.
@@peglor Years back I actually tried contacting the Department of the Taoiseach to find out when the Irish flag changed colour because the flag I saw in the 60s and 70s certainly wasn't orange. It was obviously something no one wanted to talk about. I was actually open about the change, just curious as to when it happened. I can see reasons why Ireland might want to reevaluate itself. When people won't talk about what happened is when you get unsure of the basic decency of those avoiding the subject.
@@Barnagh1 Disappointed in myself, I could have picked up on that as well.
@@COIcultist wait until you get to the bit about the round tower! “The monks kicked the ladder away”? Not a very wise strategy!
Bill Owen’s silky voice could put me to sleep anytime.
The Irish diaspora is what lives on mostly. Only a few remained there- those rich enough too. Diaspora include : Muhammad Ali, John Lennon, Ice Cube, Paul McCartney, Kennedy, Rhianna, Liam Gallagher, Conan Doyle, Tyson Fury, and many more. 🍀✊tracellers. Rich? No..save that for the evil ones who took from the poor and were greedy. We are rich in another way
There are still plenty of people living in Ireland, just not in small farms in the countryside because subsistence farming is no longer how people live in first world countries. The population passed 5 million recently, though that's somewhat down on the 8 million in the 1800s. There are still plenty of poor people in Ireland too, though the social welfare system means there is a minimum income level that people won't fall below.
@@peglor Obviously I understand there are still many left there. My point was that that modern population is dwarfed by the numbers of the diaspora. Those that stayed found a way to stay, probably suggestive that their forebears were more money savvy. Because the ones that left did not find a way to stay, did they? Just anecdotally the ones I have who did stay all share a certain prudence. The genetics of the mind.. And in their genome are the traces of others less prudent too, but nevertheless I see what I see.. And of course there are poor people there today; i never said otherwise did i? And of course the financial security in a European Union member nation is better than in the past- that too goes without saying I would have thought. The diaspora is in a way where the genome lives best though as it far outnumbers those who managed to stay. "The population of Ireland is about 6.9 million, but it is estimated that 50 to 80 million people around the world have Irish forebears, making the Irish diaspora one of the largest of any nation." The diaspora outnumber 10-1. Food for thought. The genetics of a land long left behind but still living on and blessing human society. 🇮🇪Beyond the surface. Spread widely like a cloth at the table of humanity. Thank God. THE LORD WIRKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS. 🌍🍀✊🇮🇪
@@focusandefficiency9359 The thing to keep in mind is that everyone who's proud of being 1/16th Irish is 15/16ths other nationalities. This vastly exaggerates the Irish diaspora figure at the expense of all the other ones.
Claiming Irish ancestry and ignoring the rest is a good mix of fashionable and inoffensive (Since Ireland has no imperial past except as a victim), so there's little social risk, and often social benefits to singling out this one aspect of your ancestry over the rest.
Also, Ireland is anything but left behind - education levels and life expectancy are far higher than the US for example.
@@peglor Bollox m8. Don't discount the diaspora like that- the diaspora has given the world more talent than Ireland born people have- from Conan Doyle to Tyson Fury. Incidentally, both those examples are fully Irish blood. But to discount the diaspora just because it is mixed is illogical as the Irish are also mixed with Norman's and English as well. The best thing to come out of Ireland is ... the diaspora. Liverpool is an Irish city and the Beatles are included.. Oasis. There is no such thing as pure Irish as iridh blood is itself mixed. By the way from the sound of you I'm more Irish than you because you get your knickers in a twist whereas my big iridh balls dont get flustered into making nonsense arguments to make out that a diaspora cannot be counted as such when it is what it it- a diaspora mixed and afloat on the world of human genetics. I would even go as far as saying that the true Irish left as a lot of the Irish I've met that stayed are money obsessed small balled pragmatists with no sense of ancestry to them. The Irish are travellers. You must have too much English mixed into you. Lol. The diaspora outnumbers the penny pinches who stayed. Some good ones left too definitely, but just accept that most went abroad to explore and survive and spread the talents in the world of men and women. Gods plan. Amen. And for those with a sprinkling of Irish in em then it still makes a mark. Who exactly were the ones who stayed? The cattle breeders who didnt help their fellow man and women as they faced starvation, preferring to sell the food to the UK like rats. So ther is ur argument. For the record I'm fully Irish dna and my expression of irishness is more natural than the sheep I often find who stayed who were subject to such socialisation which is always random and non lasting anyway. So stick that up ur pipe and smoke it. And dont discredit the tribe that has gone on to shine so well abd make lives for themselves whilst the penny pinchers stayed and counted their coins and cattle. Many good Irish people left too amongst the Money grabbing whores. But dont discredit the diaspora because you miss the point that the sprinkling of even the smallest amount if Irish DNA counts. I bless all the diaspora and I'm descended from the druids of western ancient island. Unlike you. I feel your pragmatism and it speaks volumes of ur stock. Hope the cattle and oats was worth it. 🇮🇪✊🍀🇮🇪✊✊🏼✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
@@peglor Even the way you are going on about economics of modern irelabd proves my point. Who stayed? The money grabbing wankers who wouldn't share.. I their genepool was a mix thank God.. but dint discredit Irish blood like that because if the truth be told the true big hearts went mostly. ✊🇮🇪✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊spread like butter all over the world. Like a true Irish traveller. Even the great Irish talker Muhammad Ali where did he get his gift for talking do you think? But you would discredit that because hes mixed..well my counter to u is the ones who stayed largely betrayed their fellows. The nature of the Gene's means still a lot of beauty in the souls that stayed but dont discredit the mixed ones because u for one ain't that special and I can smell ir on u like a stain that speaks on through generations. I love Irish born and the diaspora too. But I dont have no love for those who try label the others not as important. Kennedy, Ali, Lennon, Disney, Doyle, Fury, Gallagher, Rihanna, Day Lewis, The list goes on and on. And in the sprinkling if the Irish in em it makes em part of the tribe. The cattle farmers and oats traders arent the only special ones. Look for the wealth of the genome and where it is found let it be celebrated and never downplayed. Irish druid of this century telling u that boy. So listen good. U and ur economics and all that. Lol. No. The true diaspora is a great thing and a blessing and part of the holy plan. Like sending out a fleet of gold..u r probably interested now I mentioned gold..lol. just a joke. Big Irish ballet swinging all over the world in man women and child..so dont diss them or il eat u for breakfast ✊✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿🇮🇪🍀
