- There are plans to build a bunker in Galway in the event of a nuclear attack. With a limited capacity who should be given access?
Bill O’Herlihy went on to the streets of Galway to ask people for their thoughts on the bomb and who they think should have a place in the city’s only nuclear shelter.
I hope our blessed lady and her divine son will stop it.
While not everyone is living in fear of a nuclear attack the Civil Defence is preparing for the worst.
600 of them give their hours of leisure to thoughts and plans for the day of disaster. The day the world goes mad and fear becomes terrifying fact.
The Civil Defence now has plans for a H bomb bunker or fallout shelter in the basement of a vocational school which has yet to built. The planned shelter will hold just 55 people and no one knows exactly who they will be. The bunker is to be a county control centre or an administrative hub in the event of a nuclear war. The people of Galway have their own ideas about who should get a place in the shelter. One man suggests,
I think nuns, priests, women and children should be catered for.
Stephen Devaney Vice President of the Galway Trade Union Council is sceptical that there is any need for a bunker and thinks the scheme is a mad one.
I think putting something like that under a school is really mad.
Mayor of Galway Brendan Holland gives his views on who should get a place in the bunker in the event of an emergency. He also clarifies that he has absolutely,
No idea what a nuclear bomb consists of and what the consequences are.
This ‘Newsbeat’ report broadcast on 6 December 1966. The reporter is Bill O’Herlihy
was there ever a time when the media wasn't scaremongering 😂
Fun fact the word "scaremongering" is derived from the old title of "Irish news media"
This is gold.
The people in charge of the project won't talk to the people who are paying for it. Quelle Surprise!
Lock the priests and the children in an underground bunker? This man was deluded even for his own time.
I don't think the Soviets had their nukes trained on Galway, or Ireland for that matter. Mad stuff altogether. Suppose it might have come in handy for the Bishop of Galway later on, ha.
Pretty sure Shannon airport was on the target list along with the other Irish airports. There were plenty of nukes to go around!
Davis, please tell me how you know that what you said is completely true, did some person in the know say something to you. A man that I know very well and who is in total charge Mr HAMISH Mc Putin said to me as we looked out on the Black Sean on a clear crispy bitter cold mourning, I have got rockets and warheads pointing everywhere but not at your homeland, then he said to me, do you think that I will ever get to heaven after the many bad things that i have done
I can only remember Bill O Herlihy when he presented soccer on RTE but he appears to be heavily involved in current affairs in these earlier clips.
He's only a kid in this.
When he was trying to write the dialogue for this report with a zinger or two, cant you see his face when he thought of saying "mushrooming cloud of doubt".
The guy at 1:37 was a trainee priest. I see he had his priorities right back in the day!! Women, children & sure a few nuns to make the "tay & sangwiches" & ta do a bit of cleaning for the older lads like Bishop Kidinabush
To direct the people..... Who the hell is going to listen to someone in a bunker telling them what to do and how.. All communicates will be down.... 👇
Madness is too kind a word to use, this is proof that crazy people and dictators can come from any village town or city in this world, a few years ago I met a man named Lynch, who was a retired major in the British army, he told me that he was a direct descent from the infamous incident when James Lynch hung his own son for the murder that he committed. As the song said, Madness, they called it Madness
Haha, they were fighting over frozen pizza's when the lock down was 1st announced.. Could you imagine the punch up to get in the bunker 😂😂😂
I remember the chaos seeing people buy as much pasta as possible when the virus had hit italy lol, mad stuff altogether
Well by the Blessed lady and divine son it won't happen. Its long time since I heard that uttered .
Ineffectual tactic. Prepare to remain in the bunker for many years. Even then, once exposed, this lingering radiation hazard could represent a grave threat for as long as 1 to 5 years after the attack. The emergency drills themselves may cause deadly stampedes and crushes.
It's still there, under moneenageisha school.
Down with that sort of thing. Careful now.
Feckin love this. "Will they have to shoot people to keep them from the bunker?"
I’m still looking for the shelter maybe it caved in under its own weight by now
No one would be thas mad (to set off the bomb)... has to be the understatement of the century and the heights of illusion
You trust too much, I could give you a few names starting with trump
@@jamesbradshaw3389 I said that he is in illusion to think that no one will ever set one off. There are any number of people who would do so in fact
but it has been a correct statement until today
With the late Dermot Bray , alte Danno Heaslip and the CIE Conducter
Well, that’s a good one. Having left Galway in 1976, returning very often, never heard a word about this. Heard about Bunker Lydon mind you. Heard about MAD , and watched Dr Strangelove many times. I’m watching this in Paris , away from the Canadian gulag , on my way to Spain. Had not seen Dermot Bray for all those years. Rip. My suggestion would be to line up a series of curraghs, stack them with able bodied men and women and children, wan or two clergy , for good luck. Row away out into the Atlantic , wait for the dust to settle , mor o yea , and come back and sthart all over again. Positively Darwin again.
Okey dokey Bill
Remember your Iodine.
Ireland never belong to nato. cold War Ireland was neutral I understand. No threat then??
There was a story/myth in the eighties about Knock airport being a Soviet target as it was the only runway long enough for US B-52 bombers to land
@@mikenolan9664 I think you mean Shannon which has a much longer runway than Knock. In any case it was believed that in the event of nuclear war Ireland would have no way of preventing NATO from hijacking the airports on the Island. How could we? We still to this day have no anti air defences.
@@MrTuxy I meant Knock..it was just a story, I'm not sure facts had a lot to do with it!
@@MrTuxy There used to be talk that Knock had a suspiciously long runway. Even Christy Moore refers to it in the song about Knock airport "Did NATO donate the dough, me boys, did NATO donate the dough??"
@@sean_d But it's got a short runway by international airport standards. I guess that was the joke......
