Good to see it on Youtube at last

There is a lot of Irish footage on the channel, the easiest way to find it is using the search box on https://www.britishpathe.com/

It's a great resource.

Its actually very fortitious that theres any footage left of it at all.The Makers of The Documentary Mise Eire tracked down a lot of the footage in the 50s which was decaying in attics and sheds for years.Prob would have been lost otherwise.
