A great photo of the Holy Spirit school that sent a little quiver down my spine. Getting the palm of my hand smashed by a wooden ruler regularly by my lovely teacher. And I can actually still smell the inside of the classrooms. I left in 1978 age 8 but those flats stay in your bones. The way the wind whistled around the gaps in the blocks and almost took you off your feet. And trying to not get robbed on your way to the van. The funniest and warmest people I've ever known.
Great video and many memories. Thanks for sharing! I miss Ireland so much. I grew up in Coolock, but I had friends who had relatives that lived in Ballymun flats and we used to visit there often. Have to say, I always thought the "tall" buildings looked so out of place within Dublin's landscape.
Hi Patrick, sorry for slow reply, the main piano music that plays for the first 6 mins is I Giorni by Ludovico Einaudi, the remaining 1.45 mins is Nuvole Bianche also by Ludovico Einaudi
I just seen my mother and little sister at about 1:50 mins. That's made my day :)

Einaudi again! Thank you, the music is really highlighted by the pictures.
Up the mun!
Beautiful music, can anyone tell me who it is?
the music playing for the first 6 mins is I Giorni by Ludovico Einaudi, the remaining 1.45 mins is Nuvole Bianche also by Ludovico Einaudi
Thank you. Beautiful piece of music set to a beautiful price of videography. Wish there was one about Kilmore and the Cromcastle area! Peace.
always thought that those towers should have been sold to the private sector, the problem was skanners not architecture
Looks like a giant prison
