- Reactions from around Cork & Galway to the 1980 budget, including the 300% increase in duty on soft drinks and 5% on golf balls.
The people of Cork woke up this morning to the headlines of yesterday’s budget. This included stiff increases in the cost of excise duty on cars. The price of alcohol and soft drinks, which were already at surprising levels for tourists, according to hoteliers, has also gone up.
Glass coke bottles! If we'd stuck with glass bottles, we wouldn't have plastic in our seas & filling landfills.
Remember the cream at the top of the glass milk bottle?
Those were the days
Ah tho old small glass bottle of milk every day in CBS primary school. Simpler times 🇮🇪🍺
sand back into sand
I remember them well. The birds used to peck at the foil caps!
They still use glsss
Kinda mad thinking there were electric trucks everywhere back then delivering milk door to door. Feels like it ought to be something in the future, but it's long in the past now.
Keep em coming, lovely to watch
I loved the enormous barrel with the tap straight out of it in the middle of the bar! Original hipster cool!!! 😉
The only reason the soft drink duty came in is cos the Vintners Association had enough pull and wanted alcohol to seem better
And the sugar tax we have now?
I guess someone had to pay for Charley Haugheys extravagent chartvet shirts and who better than the taxpaying mugs of Ireland! Yes indeed I have grim memories of those dark days when they screwed ordinary workers like myself into paying nearly 60 pence in the pound income tax on a modest wage , I couldent afford a car until I was 24 years of age in 1986 and could only afford 3rd party insurance on a fiesta for 400 quid! ah yes the good old days!

Far better than today in many respects the younger generation hates people like you because all ye do is whine and complain about how bad the past (usually the 80s) had been, omitting anything positive. I'd take a Haughey any day over this shower or bastards
So many Irish in the UK and Scotland then. My neighbour in Glasgow Mike was from Donegal but worked as a tunneler all over the UK. Bloody hard work but he made a fortune compared to what he would have earned in the Republic. Just about every construction project in the UK post war was built by the Irish.
@@Spookieham. What these guys the Irish tunnellers did, was worked their asses of so they go back home and build a house mortgage free, the not do sensible ones drank everything they earned.
@@Spookieham even the rail lines?
Down with this sort of thing!
If I was to win the lottery I would move to rural Ireland. The Irish people are so authentically human. God bless them!
It's not like this anymore unfortunately. Country is full of economic migrants and refugees while our own young are emigrating.
Thank you very much. I do hope you win the lottery some day!
@@usandusonly32 True. It's a shame.
I think you're looking through rose tinted glasses. The Interest rate is crippling everyone apart from the banks and this UK government. I'm sure rural Ireland are suffering as we all are.
@@usandusonly32 The irony haha
Another great upload CR, very interesting
Having enough dosh to have a drink once in awhile or enjoy community in a pub, seems a reasonable way to enjoy life's small pleasures.
Rich business men ,still causing consternation on both sides the pond.
Ironic, isn't it?
As a fat guy, I noticed the only fat speaker in the 1980 clip was the soft drink lobbyist. (Just think what the body sizes would be if the clip was made today, over a half-century later.)
2023-1980 = 43 years. Fail.
Sure whats new? More taxes and a reduction in wages....surprise surpise
Also Limerick City is featured in the video, the White House Bar and Hanratty's at halfway through.
Jesus I didn't even notice untill I saw you're comment I had to rewatch the video... I live next to The Whitehouse Bar! 😅
Robin O'Sullivan there also at 01:30. He was later a TV presenter on Cork Multichannel and worked in PR but a the time of this video was working with Coca Cola.
Some things never change.
3:22 fekin Luke Skywalker
3:07 Feckin George Lucas 🤔
2:43 Feckin Pazuzu, The Exorcist.
My guess is that it’s Mattie Murphy, who would go on to be a very successful GAA manager in Galway
Feckin Matt Cooper
Saying that farmers should pay more seems a little crazy to me, even for back then.
Cork Multichannel's Robin O'Sullivan is one of the talking heads in Cork.
I remember Jim Fahy, western correspondent..
Disappointed they didn't call the fizzy drinks: 'Minerals'😅 ...Was that just a Dublin thing?
No we had it in Cork too
Same in the West today.
Jaysus the price of drink back then
There''s a sup gone out of that pint.
Gangster tax
Top 3 things missing in this video:
1) I phones
2) Starbucks
3) Muslims
Well it's all well and good but what about Manila Junction it's not really on then is it
Will I prefer this to this on the other hand this one is better than this one. Although it does depend because I also like this one as well.
😂
I thought The Budget was the name of a pub when I clicked
Looked like Matt cooper right at the end
Back when cork was cork
Cork looks nicer in 1980 than it does in 2023.....
City center is after turning into a kip
Full of dangerous entitled fakugees
@@raffles7556 most of the dodgy people i see are irish junkies to be honest
@@ol9363 … not saying that that doesn’t exist but it’s certainly not my experience.
What’s a kip
@@omgjimmyboy …… a shithole
What a head of hair.
Over forty years later and people are still moaning
Like you wouldn’t complain over nonsense taxes being levied against you just cause the government don’t like you
Pity soft drink prices didn't go up 300% today. Help get rid of all of the fat arses and obesity in Ireland
Sure it's all p anyways
a sally o brine and the way she might look at ya. we had nothing back then but is was a better Ireland. I’m told to move with the times but it’s not the same 😢 I blame RUclips 😂
