Most people dont notice them.. but the angels on the O’Connell monument, and O’Connell himself, still bear the scars of 1916, silent witnesses to the battle that once raged through Dublin. The bullet holes from the Easter Rising crossfire were never repaired...

“A pint of plain is your only man.” 🍺 Written by Flann O'Brien in the 1940s and later turned into a pub classic by The Dubliners. A tongue-in-cheek piece of Dublin pub philosophy suggesting that when things go wrong, the answer might simply be a pint of stout.

J O’Connell’s pub in Co Meath has been in the O’Connell family for six generations and has remained unchanged for over a century. You'll find no music, TV, or wifi passwords here..just old fashioned hospitality, a crackling fire, perfectly poured drinks and a heartfelt welcome

"When I'm in England, I say, I'm from Ireland. When I'm in Ireland, I say, I'm from Dublin. When I'm in Dublin, I say, I'm from Crumlin. When I'm in Crumlin, I say, Leighlin Road. When I'm in Leighlin Road, I say...I'm a Lynott." - #PhilLynott

Liffey Street market, 1983. I was always fascinated by these traders as a kid. They had a spiel for everything they sold. Masters at their trade. Clips from 'Dublin A Personal View', filmed in 1983.

Remembering Luke Kelly today on the anniversary of his passing. This was Luke Kelly's last performance. His voice and memory had deteriorated but he belted out this song with as much heart as possible. The opening & closing verse: "I must away now, I can no longer tarry, This morning's tempest I have to cross, I must be guided without a stumble, Into the arms I love the most".. If you listen carefully as the last note dies out, you'll hear Ronnie Drew softly say..."Good man Luke".

Some Dublin street lamps have been lighting these streets for over 100 years. Quiet survivors of another Dublin. They’ve outlived generations and are still working away every night.
