My grandparents and there parents owned and ran the royal oak for a very long time, and my mother was born there and grew up in that pub. The geraghty's. I looked online at the 1911 census and my great grandfather was there then with his family and five staff. Sad to see it was knocked down!! Really like this video..
From Nov 09 to March 2010, out of 19 council houses, allocated by Tralee council 11 went to immigrants. Many Irish people are on the housing waiting list, some waiting for 7yrs, and the houses are going to foreigners.

This at a time when Irish children in care are being moved around in different care homes and B&B's. Some of these kids have been abused and committed suicide - they would greatly benefit from a secure council house.

"I'm from Ireland but more importantly I'm from Finglas - The Original" or search for it on Google... its a good bit of Craic
Wow, thanks for the memories, made me remember that I had a very happy childhood, Finglas was a great place to grow up, lived there on Barry Pk from 7 till I was 20 left in the late 70's.

IRISH FLOOD VICTIMS GET 70MILLION FOREIGN COUNTRIES GET 100MILLION FROM IRISH GOV.
Source:Irish Times 12/12/09.
We are sending 100million to foreign countries like Bangladesh for the climate change bill. Our own ppl get 70million. We also send millions on top of that in aid.
Bangladesh has a bigger military than the Irish army, Pakistan has a nuclear weapons programme and India is sending rockets to the moon. Meanwhile we pay for their poor.
v v good well done im from the west and love the photos well done even my 6 yeae old likes it well done you paint the proper picture of finglas not the other 1 % of bad stuff on the area once again thanks
My nan lived in the watery lanes when Finglas was the countryside! She is still living in Finglas now... reckon she might be one of the oldest originally from finglas people!
Some days, still more or less the same, just different people!
Many thanks for the post. Finglas man in Bahrain. Did you ever bring your jamjars to the "Cas" or spend a wild day down the 'Canyon". Would like to know your 'era'. Paddy
I think the river photo was what we called " The Sweeps," and on the other side of the road was " The Silver Spoon." Most of the kids spent alot of summers swimming in the Sweeps and fishing at the Silver Spoon. All that was required was a jam jar, a fishing net on a stick and prairie sandwiches (just plain bread and butter). Simple times...
Nice one! I remember the Drake inn and a cross the road there was the the Duck inn. Also the auld cobblers shop ajust pass the bottom of the hill. Use to be a big wall there as well.Memories.
I grew up there 61-74. Went to St Canaces and Beneavin. Had a great time

24% BOOM BABIES ARE FROM FOREIGN WOMEN
In 2009 almost 24% of births were to foreign women. It was 17% four years ago.
The growing number of foreign women giving birth, some of whom have infectious diseases not seen in the Irish population, was an additional challenge.
"Some of these women may not be immune to rubella because they missed out on the vaccination programme in school," Prof Turner said.
Examiner 28/6/2011
In 2016, it will be 33% born to foreigners not counting those already here
