At Towngate, i don't for sure, most of the comments left on here by the same people is the same old crap most days. As for your complaint about lack of Public toilets in Dublin, its the same in London. The few public toilets in London, i stay clear of they are filthy and alot goes on in them. Im sure you know all about that :) I live in central London and the streets are used as a public toilet, they stink, especially on weekends. It a big problem for westminster council. ~ Just saying...

Joe Kellsal you are so right, young people having to leave is sad. But our two old fogey's Towngate and W.Knee have no heart. W.Knee should really be called woundedhead, something so very wrong to have such hatred for other nationalities. The bigotry just spews from him in almost every comment. So much jealousy shows it's face on this site about our beautiful country. I count my blessings...I am Irish and living in Ireland.

The foreign migrants sure love Dublin! Take a stroll tru downtown Dublin any day, you'll see far more Indians, Poles, Paks and 100 other nationalities than you'll see Dubliners! Dublin for them is definitely better than Karachi or Kracow.

Bobby: ease off the oil,mate! Don't take yer beatings on other threads so much to heart! @ DaddyMac22: Thanks for your observations. Firstly, I am not in the least bit miserable - on the contrary; especially with pathetic posts like yours to amuse me! I am relieved, though that you were intellictually capable of correcting a tiny single letter 'typo'. Finally, I did not attack this video: I offered a Comment on it and suggest it is not 'Genuine' and misleading. Classic Media Artifice! Look at the Credits at the end! ~ To describe 'Durty Dublin' as 'a garbage tip' is to use 'honeyed words of flattery' compared to terms I hear used by some of the struggling inhabitants. The lad in the video fails to list among his litany of complaints that there is not a single Public Toilet in the entire City. "Just as well it rains so much to wash the human waste from the weekend streets". ~ Just saying! ~ Go down to the docks and get on a boat and don't get off until you reach somewhere nice! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a good effort by all involved, and there is an important video to be made on this subject .... but this is just not it. Take two!

what gibberish no different from tele lines we hear nightly - mumblebumming, we, straining to understand what their pain pretends.

I think it was a true reflection of what would go through a young man's mind before emigrating. 'Wet socks, wet feet, wet shoes , wet street': dramatic alliteratiton. Also 'ten big reasons to go; a thousand small reasons to stay'? If you think you can do better, try! I am an old emigrant in the UK, but I try to get back to Killarney for a 'family fix' as often as I can. My first memory is as a toddler running through waist high grass near to Ross Castle; just one of the thousand 'small reasons to stay; I thought the video was moving.

@Towngate: what's it like being such a miserable human being? Also, if you are going to attack the content on a technical level, probably best you don't come out with this 'drivel' yourself; ''This video shown Dublin as a dreary garbage tip'' did you mean 'shows' perhaps?! Clown.

Towngate, Garbage from your trap as usual.

agree with towngate, also this guy sounds like he was brought up on the streets. Couldn't understand part of what he was saying plus the foul language is completely unnecessary. The piece is depressing and also the writer. Very sullen!!!

The Poster of this article has already decided that this "poignant... masterpiece " is " touching" ... Its nothing of the sort! It's a poor attempt at a sub-poetic 'stream of conscience' drivel some Dublin writers are famous for, and anyone can see through this lads arch delivery of the lines. This video shown Dublin as a dreary garbage tip, but it is also a Port ... so buy a one-way ticket and go away and stay away! 'Just saying'...goodbye!
