Brings tears to my eyes, this is the Ireland I grew up as a child, it was hard living but a great life, unfortunately it's almost gone and most of the people coming in don't care or aprichhate that hard working way of life, and it looks like they Irish politicians don't care about the past, good by Ireland

This brings back so many memories. When i moved back to Ireland after Uni in England, I stayed in a guesthouse in North Tipperary. The landlady's husband was an old farmer, similar to these brothers and lived "next door" in a kitchen that was like walking back in time. He was a quiet, hard-working man with little in the way of education, but much in the way of wisdom - and I spent many an evening chatting with him in front of his turf fire, not least because he could tell me of all the little things that happened in the locality back in the anglo-irish war. He had no interest in politics or religion, but "respected" both (or the power of both), his interest was confined to that and those around him. For him, the fight ended with the treaty, not because he agreed or disagreed with it, but because he could not accept Irishmen fighting each other..... and his views on the North were the same. RIP, Sonny.

This is brilliant. There was a similar documentary released in 1999 following Ernie Morrow and his brother Stewart from 1996 to 1998, up in the Glens of Antrim, called “Us Boys”. Two different parts of Ireland, but all Irishmen and a really similar life. Ernie and Stewart were “Scotch-Irish” (as Ernie describes it, their ancestors coming from Scotland with the plantation) and spoke real broad Ulster-Scots. But it’s class to see that this is a really similar documentary, but just in a different part of Ireland.
@michaeljcommins

Yes, Robb, I remember that documentary so well. "US Boys" was beautifully filmed and it touched my soul. I recall how they still had their radio set to BBC Home (2) on mediumwave. It was an incredible and haunting documentary about the the Morrow brothers in the Antrim glens and their Scots-Irish (Ulster-Scots) background. This documentary about the Butler brothers with that wonderful Comeragh Mountains accent from Waterford is so similar in many ways. As you observed, two sets of brothers from opposite ends of the island of Ireland, Antrim and Waterford, and captivating us in a manner that we will never see with the Twitter generation. Real people with no agendas. What a special generation of great people.

Growing up in rural Ireland, I witnessed many bachelor men like this. There were many reasons for it. Like the one man said, “Working all the time on the farm, no time for girls.” And then there was isolation issues, lack of social interaction with the female sex...in school, ‘twas boys to boys and girls to girls and never the two should mingle...until courting time. For some, it was just too little too late. God bless them all and Rest In Peace...There but for the grace of God go I.
