Have to come back to this in times of uncertainty

[ronanoconnor]

almost 10 years old, still a gem and still very very relevant .... brilliant!

[dairethomas]

I’m just saying, we’re 6 years on and it’s just as relevant now as it was then.

[Shotdown]

That moment where he stops, the music kicks in, and he says "No. You'se all fucked off." is just gut-wrenching.

Just Saying, after 7 Years in Dublin ( I am German !)
I luv this city and appreciate the opportunity to have made this city my new home !
Thank you Dublin, Thank you Ireland !

I left Ireland in 2001 for a year and again in 2004 and haven't been back to live. Get back a few times a year on holidays though. My work has brought me to over 40 countries and i have lived and met some amazing people.

Now every time i go home i don't want to have to leave. despite everything that is wrong at home Ireland is still one of the very best countries in the whole world. And never let anyone tell you any otherwise.

I left for the UK in 1987. Watching this fills me with happy and sad memories of Dublin before I left. I now live in London and sometimes wonder how life would've panned out for me had stayed. Eight of us left, two went back.

[CharlieLordTeacher]

Love it. I left Belfast 25 years ago, landed in America. The kid had a few great lines in there, very good stuff.

ITS EVERY YOUNG DUBLIN PERSON'S POEM IN THIS GENERATION

[jdunne]

I've been living in the UK for the past few years. I come back to this video every now and again to take me back to Dublin. Reminds me where I'm from.

[BaileysMariner]

"Any craic?"

"No. Yous all fucked off."

:-(

This.

[irishgrumpy]

"The answers aren't on Camden street, and they never were" Makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

[janetburke]

Everything about this is perfect, the writing, the performance, the city streets, the background music, the atmosphere. Perfection.

[Faves]

Left Ireland in '97 to travel. Had an opportunity to move back beginning of 2010 but the warning signs were there. Living in Canada for 7 years now. The amount of Irish here compared to when I first came is astonishing. Love being Irish but I've always felt more Irish abroad than at home.

[louisemathews]

Perfect! A voice of our generation!!! A question I debate with myself. With 10 good reasons to go and a thousand little reasons to stay!!! Perfect!!!

"Saw this long whole back.
Found it again.
Living now in the US and being from Ireland this struck a chord even more than when I first experienced it.
A prolific piece beautifully orchestrated and acted.
The back drop of Dublin in the early hours is so powerful.
I'm proud of Ireland proud to be Irish and ashamed of the government.
It's people are wonderful and this is proof that the art is still there.

Thank you Dave for a stunning reflection on Eire as it is now"

When I first watched this I was in London this video was one of the reasons I decided to return home. 9 years later I'm back in the North West of England. Ireland has failed us.

[miseciara]

Still completely relevant... gorgeously written and well acted. So maith sibh.

[patrickfinnerty]

Was living in London when I saw this pop up on my newsfeed. Played a big part in me coming home.

[annachiaravispi]

I have been living in Ireland for all but three months but it still brings me to tears when I see a raindrop in Ireland - classic Dublin
