This is more than a walk down memory lane, it's like a time machine. Thanks for creating and posting this I really enjoyed it 👍

[gerardleahy]

Great video. I really enjoyed the old cars. I am a lifelong car enthusiast and could identify almost all of the cars featured. From the models shown, as well as the absence of others and some registration numbers, I would say the footage dated from 1965 or 1966.

Love the way everyone dressed up so nicely with hats galore..even those riding bicycles

I love the lack of road markings..." There's your tarmac, now go figure it out. " The traffic soundtrack is a little incongruous; the car horns are a low pitch American " PARRP! " instead of a higher pitch, polite english " beep beep. " ( most of the vehicles are British-made with a smattering of european types ). Spectacular footage. Many thanks for posting and I hope my car horn comment helped.

Unfortunately those days are gone forevermore, beautiful video.

I was born in 1960, I remember every one of these cars. Became a mechanic when i was 17 and worked on most of them ahhh great memories. One thing though. None of the vehicles had the horns/hooters that are in the video

I've been waiting a long time for NASS to do a video of Dublin or any other city in Ireland. Good on you, it looks amazing🇮🇪

[annierichards]

It's amazing to see traffic freely flowing around the College Green and Connelly Bridge areas. It looks like that in the 1960's you could drive across Dublin and reach destinations in 5-10 minutes that now take an hour or more. So much for progress.

This is wonderful. The bus with 'Cork Dry Gin' emblazoned on the side, followed by another bus with 'Guinness - For Sure!' on its side was amusing. Being a traffic warden/conductor, waving your arms around for hours was probably a tad exhausting, not to mention teeth-grindingly tedious. Thanks for upload. Cheers from Louth.

This is fabulous!

There was a lot more cars on the streets than I remember from my childhood in Dublin's city centre. But what memories are evoked!

Great to see Nelson' Pillar still standing. I recall going up to the top for the first time only a few weeks before it was blown up in March 1966.

Great job, thanks.

The pace of life seems so calm and relaxed and easy going. Excellent video

[SunShine-dkrk]

So enjoyable to watch, in many ways simpler times. Thanks NASS for your uploads and work restoring these great masterpieces, it' amazing to think someone was behind the lens back then recording these scenes for us to see what they saw and then for you to restore and bring to the viewer in the 21st century.

As always, thank you. Best wishes to the uploader, loved ones and fellow viewers, not forgetting the origional recorder too ❤❤❤.

It was nice to see Gings Costumers in Dame Street on the right with the Canopies outside. That whole block was gutted and is now a small square near City Hall. I used to get my dancing costumes from Gings for shows I used to participate in from the Desmond Dominican Academy of Dance. It's sad to see how much has changed. Happy memories though.

[johnlloyd]

I love all the Ford Anglias, Cortinas and occasional Corsairs with a smattering of Opels and BMCs.

[killiannolan]

This footage is clearly pre 1966, as Nelson's Column is clearly visible down O'Connell street just as the camera vehicle is about to turn right from Westmoreland street into D'Olier Street. The IRA blew up Nelson's Column in 1966. Lovely to see the art deco canopy in front of the Olympia Theatre on Dame street, too. Thanks for the video👍

[Ligerpride]

The roads are incredibly smooth. Also, note that you could drive down both sides of the quays, in both directions on both. Now you can only go in one direction on either side and you can't use most of the lanes with a car or even get down at all unless you're a bus or taxi.

[taralewis]

Such a beautiful city.. without all the 'glamour' of lights & screens etc. Personally I think life was better back then. We were friendlier, neighbourly, kind to others. Now we have our headphones on & are heads are looking down towards our phones...

[shaunwest]

Great video nass, great work, amazing footage of beautiful Dublin, I'm amazed by the width of the roads in the 60s👍😀👌

[lorainemurray]

I can just about glimpse the facade of Coady's of Dame St. Our old family business. Great video. Thank you.
