    1984 was a great summer. We then had to wait till 1995 for a similar one. So rare enough.

      I still remember the summer of 95. I spent a month at the beach.

      Summer 1995 was the best summer I've experienced. I have photos taken in the west of Ireland where the entire landscape is scorched yellow from lack of rain. Everyday going to the beach my parents and siblings. Great pop music too - Pulp, Oasis, Edwin Collins, Supergrass, etc. Happy memories.

      Yes the summer of 1995 is my favourite time. I lived in Galway in the summer of 1995. Best day's of my life. I shall return one day!

    ‘Are Sure that’s Grand to see Ireland in full pedigree.
    These old clips remind me of Europe in bygone day’s, a treasure to behold, a Crock of Gold to be told and a tradition untainted by Baal.
    You only need look over the water
    to see what’s on its way,
    A seed so fertile for conquest,
    You’ll end up with nothing to say.

      @@anthonycarney8445 Alot of the raffish atmosphere of creativity from the 80s and 90s is gone. The city has taken on a more sterile, gentrified air. Also, like a lot of places, the city centre has been decimated by high rents and now covid. It's still Galway but something has been lost.

      But Ireland has changed dramatically since back then!
      .What with the intro of the Euro(which has created greater prosperity -for certain counties!)
      But do u think there is a chance that Ireland's Culture, character and sense of Traditionalism is being eroded and possibly threatened?(After all this is what gives it it's Spine!)

      @@noelio67 no, I'm thinking that tree must be gone now. The two trees in front of Jury's Inn are placed quite symmetrically either side of the front door, so I'm guessing they were planted after the hotel was built. A photo of that area from the late 80s/early 90s will answer the question.
