    Hey,

    Found this today, it's narrated by Ronnie Drew Lar Redmond, and it's pretty nostalgic comparing Dublin now to back 25 years ago. Thought it'd be worth posting here :)

    Really interesting.

    I wish there were more documentaries on Dublin, it’s such a photogenic town. I could imagine a good half hour being done on St. Stephen’s Green alone, for example, with all its monuments and statuary.

    Many thanks for posting this.

    Cheers,

    Ac

    Yep, it is Lar Redmond, my bad, in the video Lar mentions the millenium and 1988 a few times. So i dunno, maybe it is, maybe it isnt, it's advertised as 1988 and looks fairly close to it.

    Yeah but Ronnie Drew made a similar video in '88 talking about Dublin. I think it was due to the millenium? Great video OP.
