Born in Holles Street Hospital myself back in 1962 , a teenager when this film was made, these old films are a pleasure to watch. National treasures.

In 1650 the corporation men decided to put up a bridge. And so the bridge was put up. But the Ringsend fellas took the bridge down. And then the bridge went back up again. And then for some unknown reason the course of the river changed, and the bridge was over dry land. And of course the Ringsend people said that was Nature's way of punishing them

Now I know why I never liked cabbage. .. Cromwell and his soldiers came Started centuries of shame But they could not make us turn We are a river flowing We are a river flowing. Again again the soldiers came Burnt our houses stole our grain Shot the farmers in the fields Working for a living Working for a living Once upon a time there was Irish ways and Irish laws Villages of Irish blood Waking to the morning Waking to the morning

It has the feel of early 70's but the credits at the end say this was made in 1978 - which would be correct given the particular models of new Opel Kadett's seen on the truck early in the film. LOve looking at the old cars in such films.

Mary Gregg was married to my uncle Martin Redmond and lived in St Patrick's villas. I grew up in Dun Laoghaire but my father was born in Beggars Bush. I loved coming into Ringsend every Sunday to visit the relatives and watching the skiff regattas. Oh the rivalry. Great days and a great area of Dublin.
