First trailer for a new film I'm currently working on. The film is co-funded by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council through a heritage grant. 'Cockney Rebels' traces the connections between my home town of Dún Laoghaire and the 1922 assassination of British Field Marshal, Sir Henry Wilson in London by the IRA. It is an event that is often recognised as having led to the outbreak of the Irish civil war. I'm very grateful for the knowledge, research and time provided by the participants - Irish Times journalist and author, Ronan McGreevy, former Republican Prisoner and commentator, Danny Morrison, Dún Laoghaire historian Brian Smith, Jason McLean of Deans Grange Cemetery and for the music provided by Clare Walsh from Comhlatas in Monkstown. I hope to release the finished film in December. Keep an eye out for updates.

Met this little curious chap on the way home last night - never had one come this close to me before.

It's 1985 (we think) and British Army and RUC are occupying Coolevin for the TV mini-series The Price. Hands up if you bunked off school in the hope of getting a bit part in the riot scenes. Keep the photos coming for the Film Project - and video if you have it. Send to [email protected]

So we're continuing to get some great photos in for the Ballybrack Film Project. This one is a cracker! No, it's not an IRA flying column from the Tan War. Apparently it's of a group of Council workers outside Pemberton Builders, whose works depot was located in Ballybrack village once upon a time. If anybody has any information on the date this photo was taken and who is in the picture we'd love to hear from you.

Keep the photos coming we're lovin' them! And we'd really appreciate video/film of the area from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Go on get up in to that attic. Send to [email protected]

21/06/2022

So we're back working on the Ballybrack Film project. A number of interviews will be conducted this week. We're delighted with the response we've received from people in Ballybrack (and way beyond) since we announced this project. We haven't been able to respond to everybody's comments on the various social media posts but rest assured we are reading them all and taking note of your observations and memories of living and growing up in Ballybrack. Some great photos have been sent to us - like this one of the Shopping Centre being built. Keith Kelly still calls it Gubays! 😆

If you have any photos or videos send them to [email protected]

BALLYBRACK FILM PROJECT

Excited to announce that funding has been acquired and production has begun on my latest collaboration with my good friend Keith Kelly - the story of the place we both call home - Ballybrack or The Brack. We'd like to thank Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council and The Igo Inn Ballybrack for co-funding this project and Dorans Pharmacy, Core Credit Union Ltd. and Patrick O'Donovan & Son Funeral Directors for the additional financial support to get this project off the ground.

While this film will look briefly at the history of Ballybrack and its environs the primary focus will be on the local authority estates that were built on farmland in the 1970s and 80s. So if you have memories, photos or videos of moving in to Ballybrack, growing up, going to school in prefabs, raising a family, the big snow of 1982, the Big Tree, the barley fields, headin' to Killiney beach with your mates, youth club discos, band competitions or whatever - we'd love to hear from you.
