Is that Frank Hall from Hall's Pictorial Weekly mia? Then, Ireland may have been poor in money-wealth, but it was rich in beauty, culture, and modesty. The most beautiful thing; the people of Ireland. I left there 40 years ago, but part of my heart and soul is there.
Watching this makes me think I am looking at a different world. The people interviewed on here look like they had no idea what a television camera was or even what television was, and this is 1972. The woman at 0:31 who said television was "a complete waste of time" was correct, as Ballina in Mayo could only receive RTE Television, and the crap aired on that one channel in 1972 was appalling. They couldn't receive multi-channel BBC/ITV.
I have to say, I understood perfectly clearly. It's an acquired hearing, some Irish accents are difficult to understand, but I truly enjoy all Irish accents. The richness of the accent is profound, the little mannerisms too. God bless them ☘
0:31 smart woman. Although it hasn't been a waste of time for the jewish powers controlling what's put on it. I'd love to hear these people's view of the regressive Ireland now.

The women who said that tv is a waste of time, she's not wrong there lol!
And that was long before it became a propaganda machine.
Wheel there was only two Channels back then
@@mikebarratt6767when the programing began.

The wit of the Irish is second to none. 🤣

Wonderful characters back in 1972 ❤
In 1972, on October the 23rd at 4pm, I took the pledge in Bandon Town and I haven't taken a drop since. Great times in 1972.
The one and only Frank Hall...

Everybody knows that you're allowed to turn on the immersion on Saturday night.

@@hoodlumpriest8955 glenroe was a Sunday night 🤷♂️. It was the “oh no me homework “ time
@markearley9200 what immersion a big tin bath 😂
Happy people
Is it my computer or is the sound really low? I've got my volume on max an I'm struggling to hear them.
It is very quiet, think that's because of the tech used at the time coupled with the tech getting it on here.
@@mrdupreez9061 Thanks
0:31 This lady is spot on..
Where do you think I have been all the day? Boozing, bloody well boozing. Where do you think I've been spending my pay? Boozing, bloody well boozing.

TV on Saturday night is a complete waste of time - I didn't know SNL was on in Ireland back then?
Late late show
The yank at 0:56 🤣
I was born in June 72
Great video, but without subtitles, it's kind of hard to understand some of their accent 😅

@@finolaomurchu8217 I do believe you. It's because english is not my mother language 🇧🇷
The treble is missing, it makes it harder to catch some words for sure.
Honestly the accents were fine, it's the audio quality that made some of them tougher to make out for me.
@@finolaomurchu8217 what a question though to be asked in the street
I wonder when the guy at 0:57 was born
Where's this ? Midlands somewhere?
Ballina ,Mayo

I wouldn't call ending the power of the Catholic church to rape and dump kids in septic tanks and enslaving young women regressive to be fair
Smithy is back!
only 2 channels anyway
@@conorharford5117 one channel if you were living in the west or south west of Ireland.
