Gosh, not much has changed! Still not enough police and bus drivers are still putting up with anti social behaviour. The only change is glue sniffing has been replaced by cocaine

After that interview he became known as Whoopie Mayne , lol.

There is still snobbery towards Finglas and Ballymun people. Although some people from both areas like to use this as an excuse to have an attitude problem

Ah listen to the woman politician..her posh English accent was soon to be replaced by the D4 accent for that ilk .

Man, that was unreal. Born in finglas in 82, and I don’t remember ever seeing it that bad. You always think of the older times as less violent.

Oh please! Give me a break. I grew up on Ratoath Avenue. Born 1906. My Mother and Father made sure I had a proper upbringing. My Dad worked 7 days a week to provide for 6 children. My mother worked 7 days a week to nurture 6 children. I will always be grateful for their loving sacrifice. Stop blaming society, stop expecting others to provide. Take life and make it yours. Don't blame others for the failure of your family. Or yourself. None of my family felt deprived. We had loving supportive parents and siblings.

As usual the government sat back and did fuck all.

What took you into prison??? A garda van?

nobody takes a blind bit of notice what these people are going through

What a great upload, Many thanks Christy P

How did you manage to find this because I’m looking for an episode of today tonight on Dominicks street in the innercity which my father was in

one policeman for 10,000. That's banana's.

The youth of today.

0:12 - parents that are not capable of bringing up their children ... what he means is that the state has to bring them up. The state decides that there are parents that are not capable of bringing up their children. We're not talking about druggies here but the parents that that are overwhelmed by society, things that are beyond their control because government has failed them.

The way she blinks 12:05 shows she's thinking of what she has to say and she's totally out of her depth.

6:40 the death of manufacturing was the death of the working class man who could provide fro his family and rear his children to have hope. The Church had no answer thanks to Vatican II and all the BS that followed.

Very poor audio, I could barely hear a word they were saying.

This is bollox,it's up to the parents to keep their kids in check,I don't blame the kids,I blame the parents

So it's really originally recorded 13/12/1981. Headline is wrong not 1982 but 1981.

She had her face blacked out because she didn't want everyone to know all her 11 children where conceived through marital rape.

Uinseann Mac Eoin exposed everything in his commentary/interview.

Out of 50,000 RTE couldn't find anyone to substantiate their claims of mass vandalism and crime. Those they found are speaking in generalities referring to what seems to be personal problem S associated with anyone living anywhere. It's just more of the same sensationalist rubbish that provokes a reaction. I lived in Fingas for 20 years and was never effected by crime, vandalism or depravation. Many of my neighbours' children went to university and all were gainfully employed. Al were decent law abiding people and RTE then and now cater for Irish snobbery in making these programs. It's sensationalist rubbish.

I lived in Fingas for 20 years and all of my neighbours were hard working decent people. I never knew anyone involved in crime. Yet, these kind of programs cater for the rampant snobbery which afflicts all of Irish society whereby those on the next rung of the social ladder invariably delight in looking down their noses at others perceived to be beneath them. Consequently, many but not all of those born, reared in Fingask now deny any association with the place out of fear that they will not be accepted elsewhere. The houses built during the 1950's ,although of the same design, we're built to a high standard and today this is reflected in their prices. Fingas is a thriving community but RTE catering for the snobbish majority still delight in running the place down.

That blonde politician was one thick bitch, if she lived in Finglas her attitude would've changed in a heart beat not coming round once in a blue moon and reading on paper that it wasn't so bad, Ireland and particularly Dublin has always been cursed with lousy government, nothings changed.

There's other videos on youtube showing how nice Finglas was up until the 80s, then it all seemed to go arse upwards, Finglas became less a village community and just another Dublin suburb none of the long history of Finglas was taught to us in school. I had a typical and happy enough childhood there in the 80s and 90s, Going to the local 'baths' For walks down the canal, playing football with yer mates on your road and other games, sure I had me share of being bullied and run ins with the travellers and I got used to hearing lads on scrambler bikes every weekend morning in the fields next to Dunsink, Car's being joy rided, seeing horses on fields everywhere and even wandering into my estate in Finglas south, avoiding other estates when looking for a short cut to the shops or bus stop in case y'might be picked on cause they wouldn't recognize you, yep even in a place small as Finglas their was a very small minded territorial vibe about the place, working as a door to door salesman made me see that all over Dublin actually. Atleast Finglas has had a long and great history before it seemed to become just another drab and dodgy suburb like many others in modern Dublin, Ballymun comes t'mind, all for bad government planning to blame really, but folks made the best of it I guess and still do.
