    I'm an Italian, spent in Ireland 2 years of my life. Worked in the Square in Tallaght and boxed for Crumlin boxing club. I currently live in Australia and I can tell a guy from Crumlin or Ballyfermot or one from the posh areas instead straight away. Tough people and tough areas, I remember every night the way they were looking at me ( i look latino of course ) while I was walking to the bus stop on Walkingstown Road. Loved my time there, met amazing people. when I went to Belfast I felt exactly the same way you did when you had goosebumps. As I come from a town in southern Italy full of Mafia gangs and shoting wars, I can understand 100% what you meant by trauma, and in Belfast you can really breathe that vibe, unreal.
    Fantastic video my man ❤ 💪

    Hey Spanian I'm an Englishman working and living in Sydney, 2 years ago I flew back to England to visit my family and decided to visit Ireland for 3 days with my folks we stayed in Cork (which I would recommend) then I hired a car and drove to Limerick without any biased influences towards the place and we all absolutely loved it! I don't have family history from there but I had a strange urge/feeling to visit! So glad I did! Loved your whole family heritage video it was so intriguing thanks pal 🤙

    You only seen a small section of Belfast City, the Shankill Rd side ( Protestant = Union Jack etc flags ). The other side, which you don't manage to see, would be Catholic ( Falls Rd side = Ireland flags, Irish Tri-Colour )
    I was born and raised in Belfast and now living in Newcastle NSW. Happy to clarify any questions mate. It's not easy to understand, it can get complicated but you got most of it sorta right.
    Love the football top you decided to get ☘️🍻..
    The two kids who came up to you said " hope you don't think we were chasing you for something else". In other words "we weren't following you to rob you" lol... Miss that accent. Loved hearing it again, but it's rough as guts as you would say 😂.

    What a series, what a journey! I know you feel disappointed that you didn’t have a specific house to visit in Limerick but think of it this way, you actually connected with the “path” of further generations back. The Fitzgeralds were so powerful and influential they would have travelled, lead and fought on all the streets you explored. That’s more priceless than a single building would have been.

      Limerick was called Stab city in the 1980s owing to a number of feuds and violent incidents. There was one more period of violence at the turn of the millennium but the violence in Limerick is nearly always contained amongst those involved, it's not dangerous for people not directly involved.

    And I must say his videos are truly epic
    I have only watched this last 4 videos of his tracing his heritage across the 4 countries of Spain , Netherlands, Scotland and Ireland
    When I started to watch I was not expecting them to be truly epic in their scales
    I have never spend 12 hour watching videos from a new content provider to me but Antony makes us feel like he is with us
    His honesty is real there is nothing fake here
    His love of the perfect kebab
    He says it how he sees it and his attention to detail of brining us along for the journey every step of the way is why people wanting to follow up video after video
    There is are some people who typical 30 min videos and then there is Antony lee’s who makes epic lord of the ring style 3 hour adventure

      @sidney_poitier1 No that's not obvious. That's not even evident in the comment I read. He mentioned close Irish ties, which I would expect from a scouser, but he only mentioned the ancestor from Limerick. That's likely because the video focused on Limerick. There's no reason not to think he might have other sides of the family with more recent connections to other parts of Ireland.

Hope you bought a Celtic top going to Ireland 😂 plus better team. I love how you told your connection with that one person and missing your wife. Amazing that your seeing your son and doing so well. Proud of beating the system and after the trauma you have been through how clever you are and the difference you make with your positive fun vlogs . Top spanian 💪

Horrible ,terrible management of the city by the city council, lack of police badly needed due to fast rising crime ,that scares off the rest of good population to stay here for good , many Irish people decide to leave this medieval village already .

    Spanian, I can feel and understand what you are saying. You only need to look at our wife's connections and how they keep and maintain their culture. I am Maori and we connect to your wife's whanau in some way because of the great migration where our waka sailed the great oceans and each waka ended up at different lands well before it was colonized before the pakeha/palangi came ashore. I would love to invite you to our marae just so you can see how our culture maintains their roots. We can be anywhere in the world but we can quite honestly say that we have a place call home. Your wife would probably have the same concept from her village. I just want to say that "it takes a village to raise a child" and that's how we Maori do it in New Zealand. I'm 67yrs old and I love watching out for your videos. You so remind me of my nephew Manaia. Love to meet you one day, hopefully on my marae. (Turangawaewae)

      You’re absolutely right about Limerick - beautiful city with history, culture, sportsmen and women - a people connected. Don’t know how much more time do us Irish have left as a welcoming and caring people when our own government are knowingly pitting us against each other and completely changing the culture we are so famous for! We have to change the referendum that sanctioned a new pact on migration and asylum allowing undocumented young men into Dublin City who have increased crime by 25%. Irish people emigrated for generations but we never expected hands ours - we slept on friends sofas and worked, contributing financially. We didn’t expect handouts. I have empathy for true asylum seekers but these men dispose of their ID on the way here, flushing them down toilets etc - and it’s not their fault - it’s 100% our governments fault and we’re all going to pay the price if we don’t collectively do something! Historically we’ve been asked to vote on issues that seriously affect us - what they’re doing is destroying our country - and they’re supposed to be FOR the people!!

It is not a good representation of Ireland as the capital and as someone who lived there for nearly 20 years I would agree with you. The city centre and in particular the areas you walked are rough and on the point of dereliction in parts. It’s not good enough for a country that is placed so high on many indexes of most desirable places to live.

      @@Pete_YT The North East of Ireland was part of the DalRiata Kingdom, long before the English arrived. Before there were roads, there were boats and the Scotland was more accessible to the Antrim Coast than Dublin, for example. A Gaelic speaking heritage exists there for many many centuries. Look at the history (and massacres) of Rathlin Island, for a microcosmic look at the overall history of the area. Fun fact, Ulster was "planted" with English speaking settlers because it was always the most opposed to English rule, the most difficult to manage for the English, and the most determined to preserve a Gaelic heritage. To me, even though it is officially part of the UK, the Antrim coast is still more "Irish" than Dublin ever was. The Scotti people migrated from what is now Ireland, hence giving Scotland the name it has today. The links between the North of Ireland and Scotland have always been there and the people are often very similar. I am one of them and consider myself totally Irish, but my culture is different to someone in Cork for example. I lived and worked in Cork for a few years and was often asked, by people who had known me for a while, what part of Scotland I was from. That was a bit irritating to be honest.

    Spanian's descriptive words about Belfast (trauma, sad, etc) aren't too far off and it's easy to see what he's getting at. Belfast carries the weight of history, where echoes of conflict linger in its murals and architecture, yet these elements coexist with a deep sense of renewal and hope. The remnants of that era can evoke feelings of heaviness or unease which is what he was probs referring to. The streets just have this industrial texture and grittiness to them.

    The part where he started to tear up while reading his Irish family history was beautiful, something about having Irish blood in a person makes them feel things so much more intensely than most, especially when it comes to family and ancestry, doesn’t matter how far removed you are, it’s something I’ve always been proud of being part of an Irish family, my Nan wanted to know everything about her father’s homeland and she passed those stories to me, the songs, the humour, all of it.

      I think it was also the realisation that he’s a Fitzgerald, a very important family in Irish history, they’re steeped in Irish history from the Normans. There are many Fitzgerald families in Limerick and other counties.

    You're all over Irish media for saying Dublin is shit. Bro I'm from Dublin and you're 100% correct, Dublin is a shithole! Unfortunately nothing is done to improve the city. Love the videos bro!

      Think it western Europe in general as the UK has gone to shit.
      All we ever hear about Ireland in the uk is how it's booming due to the multinationals there but I guess that can be a net negative for the average Joe with housing.
