It is not, however, the Ireland you or I encounter today. Thank you for your comment. I would like to hear more about what you are going through there... I have camera, will travel...as interested in the truth as I am in the romance I created in that flick that so roused you!

This dreaded situation is now commonplace in many parts of the world.... lamentable. I first visited Ireland in 1972. That Ireland is 'gone with the wind'. BUT, isn't it an interesting notation to acknowledge, that the horse and trap you see featured in this flick, the house with the old fashioned hearth, the small farm... there is not one single feature of this flick that was staged... I promise and can prove it. That, in my opinion is worth noting. last section of comment in next post

The Irish Tourist Board is the lowest , most shameless prostitute on this earth. This is no more the real Ireland than the dark side of the moon. It's the equilivent of portraying America as a land cabins and moonshine stills populated by Hillbillie's. Anyone who comes to Ireland expecting this will be in for one hell of a surprise. It's as if it were set in a fictional Ireland of the 1930's a fiction that even then didn't exist, it's false advertising and utterly outrageous.

Of course this is not the Ireland of today and would rarely have been found in it's yesteryear... it is a romantic segment taken out of a larger body of work that I am working on about the cultural contributions from the Irish. It's been interesting to observe how this piece that you've commented on has so served to rouse the fury of those in Ireland who are now being force fed the remains of 'the Celtic Tiger Day' ... i am now going to post the second part of my comment in a separate section.

[factandfable]

yes, you are absolutely correct. I watched your video and i have been to Ireland many times; As previously mentioned.. this video is actually a showreel for me and forms a very small segment of a documentary (historical) about the culture / music / poetry ... Irelands contribution. I am very sorry to learn of your concerns / anger / frustrations about your homeland... so many people from so many countries would and are able to relate to you and your situation. thank you for your comments.

This video is totally false and fanciful as anyone who watchhes my channel will see- there is a very different Ireland now in reality that does not appear in Irish tourist board commercials.

Where in Dublin Central do Workers Party, Lab, SF, FG, FF, candidates live?

Are they living in areas with unproportional amounts of immigrants, failed asylum-seekers or those who have evaded deportation, or those immigrants with criminal histories in their own countries?

Do they live in mostly if not totally white, more upmarket residential areas

Well, they are for mass-immigration & expect YOU to live & deal with it.

Vote Pat Talbot youll know where you stand & he will stand with you.

Please join the boycott of Israeli goods when you come to Ireland. The killing of 400 children was wrong, make people think twice before taking such action again. God bless you.

Yes, Irelan's contribution is vast and largely unknown in mainstream... this piece was taken from a larger body of work which is a cultural tour and documents some history about music and poetry. Thank you for your interest. I haven't been available to log in and see if the flick is being viewed.
