  • Children claim to have witnessed statues moving in the local church in Asdee, County Kerry.
    I was praying to the two statues and Our Lord beckoned to me.
    In the town of Ballydesmond, two girls, aged 7 and 12, claim to have seen the statues moving. These were just some of the many alleged sightings in what would become the phenomenon of moving statues in the summer of 1985.
    Since the claims of the first sightings, the faithful have flocked to the villages of Asdee and Ballydesmond to light candles at vigils. However, the local priests have remained quiet on the issue referring all enquiries to their superiors.
    RTÉ News spoke to some visitors about their experiences and why they have come to see the statues. Seven year old Elizabeth Kane, who was the first to make the claim of the statues moving, explains what happened. One local woman, Maire Fitzgerald talks about opening a tea shop to cater for the influx of visitors to the town.
    An RTÉ News report broadcast on 27 March 1985. The reporter is Maggie O’Kane.

    0:23 Whatever about moving statues, a Renault Fuego appearing in Ballydesmond in 1985 was truly a miracle.

      You probably weren’t even around back then with a stupid comment like that. 85 was a great year even though the summer was bad we got and Indian summer in September oct and guess what there was plenty to do.

    It's a bit of a pity that none of these hand movements didn't defuse a few bombs or dampen some powder during this era.

    When you are a kid, saying things like the statues moved is very exciting and you can actually make yourself believe it.
    Once I scared myself and a group of girls when I claimed I saw someone in the window of an old second story farmhouse. We has stopped a minute to give her horses a break and you never saw girls get on their horses so fast. Lol

      That's because it was made up by credulous wanna-believers.
      There seems to be less and less of these so called events as the island becomes less religious.

    ..great socio historical record of the times ..it 1975 .. even though it's 1980's. 1975 lasted until 1995 in rural Ireland ....kind of sad it had to end...

    Ireland, since her people lost their faith in God, has been going down the tubes, and there is no sign whatsoever of a change in direction.
    God help Ireland. God help her people. Both hopelessly lost.

      I imagine Jesus Christ as looking similar to the men depicted in the murals at the Dura Europa synagogue. In other words a bit Syrian. Dark head hair, black or brown beards, olive skin.
      I've also seen Chinese Jesus and black Jesus and Japanese Jesus.
      Virtually every race has imagined the Son of God as looking similar to them. But only whites are racist for doing this.
