The only time I remember RTE closing down this late in the 80's was after showing a World Boxing title fight. I remember them showing The Deer Hunter, and having to restart the film back to the start after an hour because a Dublin transmitter went down. It only just ended in time to see the main fight :-) During the Olympics in '84 RTE 1 closed down just before 6am, after the closing ceremony and John Treacy winning silver in the marathon earlier.

Cant stop watching it. Memories of childhood plus realisation that future of Ireland is in the hands of the people. We cant trust gov any more. We must export out way out of this for the sake of our families and our country,

Up there with Deutschland über alles , The Star-Spangled Banner and I am Australian ( unofficial australian anthem ) as one of the most beautiful orchestral scores ever ...... Ireland my homeland forever x
God this brings back so many memories. Remember when TV actually closed down.
I miss my country :-(
