FunTranscript
00:00Two pounder chops, no for 50 pounds.
00:03Tonight's turn three euro.
00:05Deep in Dublin's north inner city lies Moor Street.
00:10Known widely for its history and its traders, all life is on the streets.
00:16I want to contribute to the society.
00:18Don't be worrying, just spend, spend, spend.
00:20This iconic street has become one of the most diverse places in Ireland.
00:25And while its future is uncertain...
00:27..it's the not known where we're going to end up, that's the stressful part.
00:31There's no place quite like it.
00:33It's going to make you, or it's going to break you.
00:37Oh!
00:53Bob. Yeah?
00:54Sorry for you.
00:56Eh, a little bit more.
00:58Throw it out a little bit more.
01:04Come on, Pippi.
01:10Come on.
01:11Put your doll down.
01:15Put your doll down, Pippi.
01:17What?
01:17Put your doll down.
01:18Why can't you put it?
01:19Put it up on the table.
01:23See, this is what I have to do now every day.
01:26It's what we have to do every day.
01:28Yeah.
01:29So when you take over, this is what you're going to have to do.
01:32Yeah.
01:33And who was here before you was your nanny Chick and your nanny Angela.
01:38Hi!
01:39Hey, I'm going to have to do it.
01:43Come on.
01:43Come on, Pippi.
01:43See, I'll be back.
01:44At number 7 Moore Street, brothers Stephen and John Troy run one of two butcher shops on the street.
01:49A fifth-generation family business, butchering is in their blood.
01:55We're the ones that carry Detroit now, in the butchering trade.
02:00Detroit family was 13 of them, Stephen, wasn't it?
02:03And believe it or not, the only boy that wasn't a butcher was her father.
02:08He was actually a carpenter. The rest of them are butchers, all of them.
02:12But we're the only two left here.
02:14He's a great butcher, master butcher, better than me.
02:17He's the backbone on the brands.
02:27You can't go wrong when you come to the military.
02:29It's the biggest supermarket in Europe.
02:31My uncle Christy would be well known.
02:33He's in a lot of videos over the years, including the RT archives,
02:37for shouting out the prices at the door.
02:42He'd be shouting out, you know, three pound of rib mints for 180.
02:46There's five large Dolly Partons there for £8.99, stuff like that.
02:51I have to ask, what's a Dolly Parton?
02:53Chicken breasts.
02:56Make with a lot of white in there nice lay, a cot.
02:59So, this is May Gorman and she was the old fish seller and she was the Queen of Morstree.
03:06And this is believed to be Rosie Johnson.
03:08It was painted in 1933.
03:11The Queen of Morstree is when all the traders get together, all the street traders and they elect, you know,
03:17a Queen of Morstree.
03:18It's normally somebody who has devoted their lives to trading on Moor Street.
03:23We had Rosie Johnson with May Gorman with Carmel Nooney.
03:27She was our last queen.
03:29In recent years, we were hoping to inaugurate a new queen, let's say,
03:33but nobody seems too keen at the moment with everything what's going on.
03:45Not everyone on Moor Street comes from generations of family traders.
03:51There are plenty of new faces here, like Edizemi, known as Mamashi, serving more exotic fare.
03:58We have jollof rice, spicy green chicken, and beef in the sauce, and then plantain.
04:06The others, the sizzling is not there, but hers hits the spot, you know.
04:14Mamashi is the mummy, the mother of all African community youth,
04:20because, yeah, we bring the taste of Africa, we bring the taste of Nigeria,
04:25so at least they can walk now down the street and just get African food,
04:31so it's very important for them.
04:33Moor Street is very different.
04:35It's a place where community comes together.
04:40I get to see different people from different nationalities.
04:45I see more of my own community as well.
04:49And I'm like, I only bought a 15-year-old.
04:51These are very, very long-term vendors on Moor Street.
04:59You see, there are about three fascinating women that are quite older,
05:05older than myself.
05:07And so what I do, sometimes I buy things off them.
05:12You know, just gradually I was building that relationship with them.
05:18That's my grandma, my best friend on the streets.
05:25This is Moor Street.
05:26She's on the edge, I'm finding out who I'm my grandmother.
05:29Your grandmother, oh, yeah, wow.
05:32Yeah, it's a small world, isn't it?
05:34I stayed too long in the back, no care.
05:36Yeah, yeah.
05:38That's where she had to come colour from.
05:40Yeah, still dark, yeah.
05:43I would equally exchange food.
05:46So sometimes they'll say, oh, mama, don't worry, just take this.
05:51They give me things for free.
05:53So I give them food.
05:55So that was how I started building that relationship.
05:57Take it through the window.
06:01They know that, oh, mama is around there behind.
06:03At the corner there is mama.
06:05You know, she brings in all the people to Moor Street.
06:07So they are seeing me as the person bringing, you know, the community.
06:13I travel from Portlaoise.
06:16Yes.
06:17Yeah, everybody comes to Moor Street.
06:19If you want to get anything, just come to Moor Street.
06:26I'll be there, I'll call there, ma'am.
06:28Now, Mae is an icon of Moor Street traders and for traders all over the world.
06:32Because you look like she's a fantastic woman.
06:35Mae loves the street.
06:36She lives and breathes Moor Street.
06:38We don't.
06:39Moor Street is keeping Mae alive.
06:40It's killing us.
06:42I can honestly tell you that.
06:50I'll have a look.
06:50There was a number.
06:51We were 87A.
06:53Former fishmonger Margaret hasn't traded on Moor Street for five years now.
07:00A87.
07:01That's my spot.
07:05I may go.
07:06Mum is beside me.
07:10And I know they took this all away because of the antisocial behaviour.
07:14You know?
07:15So if I was coming back tomorrow or the next day, they might take it back out for me.
07:19But there's nothing to come out for.
07:21The street is dead.
07:22You know, there's part of me will always be in the street.
07:25And it's gone.
07:27And I really feel sad about that.
07:29There's no future in this street.
07:31How are you?
07:32Oh, it's lovely to see you.
07:33I mean, I look very well.
07:35Oh, thanks.
07:35You see what they say?
07:36The blondes have more fun.
07:37I'm still waiting.
07:38It never happened.
07:40Most of the men in my mother's day were male chauvinists.
07:44Like my mother, for instance, married my dad and she had 14 pregnancies.
07:48My father never even knew.
07:50He'd be walking down the street and the neighbours say,
07:52congratulations, Henry, you have a boy.
07:54Or congratulations, Henry, you have a girl.
07:56He wouldn't even know she was pregnant.
07:59They didn't want to know, I would say.
08:01But you had to have loads of children.
08:03You know, I think every woman around us had 10, 12, 14 children, 8 children.
08:09I said, gee, how did they do it?
08:10Then they'd say, there was nowhere.
08:12There was nowhere radio and there was no television.
08:17I heard it's a no-go, I heard you made it.
08:19This is it.
08:20I mean, I'm all my life living in the city and I wouldn't come out in the night.
08:23And I wouldn't come down to Moorstery in the night.
08:25No way I'd be afraid of my life.
08:26No, definitely not.
08:27It's gone that bad, hasn't it?
08:28Yeah, it's horrible.
08:29Shock them.
08:30Stallholders apply to Dublin City Council for licences that allow them to trade on the street,
08:34paying an annual fee.
08:36The fish business is gone.
08:38You know, and it's the government's fault, really.
08:41I was getting a lot of business from the HSE.
08:45And even though I had loads of ice and I had everything ship-shaped,
08:49she said, I'm sorry, she said, but you need to have hot and cold running water.
08:53And you need to have an ice-making machine.
08:57Now, let's face it, that was impossible.
09:00I'd been asking for that for years.
09:01And I was promised 28, 27 years ago, in writing, that when the development was done,
09:09we would all have water, electricity, whatever we needed, we would have.
09:14So, no, there's no development.
09:16They haven't developed nothing yet.
09:18And now we're on to the third developer.
09:20Hi, Stephens.
09:21Hi.
09:22Oh, dear.
09:23There was a very successful market.
09:25Every Dubliner used to go into Moor Street for their fruit, their veg, their fish and their meat.
09:30The market was thriving back then.
09:31There was good, reputable businesses.
09:33Moor Street is well-known for a few fireworks being sold here and there,
09:37maybe the odd slave of cigarettes.
09:39But, you know, they're harmless people, you know.
09:41I'm not saying it's right, but they're harmless, you know.
09:44What's going on now in the street is just, it's incredible.
09:51The cigarette dealers, they'll run after them and they'll have the fellas.
09:56They're dealing crack in Moor Street and they won't touch them, but they'll go after them.
10:02And I've no problem, and I know I shouldn't be saying this,
10:05but I never had a problem with the cigarette dealers
10:06because most of my customers barred off them.
10:09They brought the people into the street.
10:11You know, desperate times, desperate people.
10:13So we had to take the good with the bad.
10:16You know, they were only out trying to earn a living.
10:20And I do miss the street.
10:21I miss the people.
10:26Cup of tea, cup of tea.
10:28Come here, Mary.
10:29Thank God I'm waiting on that tea ages.
10:31I mean, I'm here since half seven.
10:33You're adding your back.
10:35You're adding your back.
10:36Myself and Mary are cousins, and our family go back four generations.
10:42There are no bananas today.
10:44No bananas again.
10:46You could be lost without a banana, Mary.
10:47You have to have bananas.
10:49Mary's nanny, I called her my little nanny.
10:52That was me granny's mum.
10:54So then it was me granny, me ma, and now me.
10:58And likewise with Mary.
11:00Yeah.
11:01Yeah.
11:01Hi, everyone, kids.
11:02Yeah.
11:03I love you.
11:04I'm here selling the flowers now.
11:07It's easy.
11:07It's easy.
11:08Oh, my God.
11:09It's wilder.
11:12Flares is hard work.
11:14It's much harder than fruit.
11:18You had a customer there a couple of weeks ago, didn't you?
11:21And we were all down to know where it was for.
11:23He bought loads of roses.
11:26He bought 101 roses.
11:28And I asked him, I said, what are you for?
11:31I'm going to a poll store.
11:33So I hope she said, yeah.
11:41Good afternoon to you.
11:42It is Robbie Cain reporting for Dublin Live.
11:44And today we're down in Moor Street.
11:46Now, Siobhan is over here.
11:47What's it like being a street trader over the last five or ten years compared to what it was in
11:51the 80s, 90s and the 90s?
11:53It's really changed drastically.
11:55It's not a nice place to be anymore.
11:58I don't actually even like coming to work anymore.
12:00Why?
12:01We're just being robbed.
12:02All our customers are being robbed.
12:04They're afraid to come in.
12:05It's just, yeah.
12:09So this stall was my grandmother's.
12:11Then my mother's, then my mom passed it on to me.
12:13And I'll pass it on hopefully to my daughter there.
12:16Lauren is there as well with?
12:17Yeah, Lauren's welcome with me.
12:18My mom was 20 when she had me and started working on the stall from then with my nanny.
12:26My mom brought the customers back.
12:29If you met my mom, you would have known.
12:33Sorry.
12:34The big smile on her face.
12:36She was just such a great person.
12:41Everyone loved to come down just for the chance where she was just so lovely.
13:00Following her tragic death, street trader Siobhan has left behind her daughter Lauren,
13:04who's expecting her first baby, and 16-year-old son Ryan.
13:09Siobhan's death has impacted the whole street.
13:12When a trader passes away, it hits hard, you know.
13:17You're spending, you're probably spending more time in your life working on Moore Street
13:21than you are at home with your own family.
13:24Siobhan, I practically grew up on that street.
13:28These people become part of your work family.
13:30How is everybody?
13:31How is your nanny?
13:32How old are you?
13:33Up and down?
13:34Siobhan's children, Lauren and Ryan.
13:36I remember Siobhan being pregnant on them, you know, and they're adults now,
13:40so it's just stuff like that, you know, and they're very, it's a huge blow.
13:46What about you?
13:47Oh, I'm just ready for him to come now.
13:49Ready now?
13:50Little boy, is it?
13:51Little boy.
13:55So it was the touristy.
14:01The guy, they end up knocking on the door to say that our bag was found on the beach.
14:07We were getting the people just to look around where we already checked,
14:12and we were just going to go somewhere else.
14:14Before we even left the car park, I came back and my mum was found.
14:24She brought us to Ivy at that time.
14:26God, I remember that.
14:28Do you remember?
14:29Yeah, sorry.
14:29Can I get an extra bag?
14:30I love that photo of her.
14:32Yeah, it's a great picture of her.
14:33It's really horror, isn't it?
14:41We just have to remember how lucky we are,
14:44because there's stories of people that haven't gotten their love from back,
14:48for 15 years, longer.
14:51Thank God we only had to wait three days.
14:55Well, they were the longest three days of my life.
15:03Like, when I think of all the memories me and my mum had,
15:08like, it's nice to have the memories,
15:11but then it just dawns on you some days,
15:14and it could just put you in a bad humour.
15:18Happy birthday to you.
15:22But, obviously, now with Lauren's baby,
15:25it does give me something to look forward to.
15:28What are you thinking of?
15:29What?
15:31What are you thinking?
15:33Me?
15:36Siobhan definitely wanted Lauren and Ryan to take over the stall,
15:39you know,
15:40and she had always spoke to me about it,
15:42and, you know,
15:43she was also very aware how hard it is
15:46to make a living from the stall now,
15:48because of the condition of Bourne Street.
15:54So, it would be great to see Lauren carrying on
15:57the tradition of the family trading there on that stall.
16:09So, you'll start with which hand?
16:12This one here.
16:13Do you use?
16:13I'll just check on it.
16:15Yeah, I'll just check, yeah.
16:16John Troy's son, Bobby,
16:18is in the butcher shop for the day to learn the ropes.
16:20OK, so, take your time.
16:22So, come here.
16:23Now, so, that one has to be on this hand, then.
16:25So, put the glove on this hand.
16:27About to save, you're getting one of them.
16:28Yeah, from years and years ago.
16:31Are you ready?
16:32Come on.
16:36Remember, I told you about the stall pulling it back.
16:38Come on.
16:39Come on.
16:39Now, push.
16:45Now.
16:45Hi, family.
16:47Oh, good, yeah.
16:47I can see the young man trading.
16:49That's the young man, yeah.
16:50He's the youngest.
16:52Ah, God bless them.
16:54When he's walking here,
16:56I'll be able to sit in the pub in a few years.
16:57Better.
16:58Better for him.
17:00We need to train them.
17:02Yeah.
17:03But in reality,
17:05John doesn't see the family business
17:06passing to a sixth generation.
17:09I'll be a young lad.
17:10He's 22.
17:12And he finished school there
17:14four or five years ago.
17:16And he wanted to come in here, didn't he, Sam?
17:18Yeah.
17:18I was giving out to him, saying,
17:19I'm not coming in here.
17:20This is too hard to work.
17:21You blah, blah, blah.
17:23It's long days,
17:24and you don't get weekends off,
17:25and all that type of stuff.
17:27The trade is changing all the time.
17:30And we were lucky.
17:31We were able to buy our houses when we were young,
17:33and stuff like that.
17:34But it's pretty hard for them nowadays.
17:35And I didn't want them to have a trade like this,
17:38and then to try to die in the next 10 or 15 years, you know?
17:41Good man.
17:42Fair play.
17:43You're on the ball this morning, aren't you, now?
17:47We're trying to re-plan our future,
17:50you know,
17:50and what we're going to do,
17:52you know,
17:52to earn a living going forward.
17:54So,
17:55it's a worrying time,
17:56and
17:57we're trying to stay positive for now.
17:59That's from a pig.
18:02Pig.
18:03The ribs.
18:04Everything's from a pig now.
18:06Pollock chaps,
18:07pollock chaps,
18:08pollock chaps.
18:09That's from a chicken.
18:11You know what I mean?
18:16Could be a chicken pig,
18:17you know what I mean?
18:19Do you think it's better than sitting in bed, Bob?
18:22Oh, sorry.
18:23Sorry.
18:25Well, that's better than now, we suppose.
18:33Tucked away in a corner of a basement mall on Moore Street
18:36is a new takeaway venture called Kitchen Break.
18:38The city centre location is a dream for Nalim,
18:41who, after a career spent working in five-star restaurants,
18:44is gambling his life savings to make this work.
18:47All the time,
18:48I want to be an executive chef.
18:50So, that's my dream.
18:52And then I realised,
18:54I can do more than that.
18:56I see another part.
18:58I want to do my own business.
19:01Sri Lankan cooking is so many techniques.
19:06It's still,
19:06the world doesn't know.
19:09That's the one I want to start
19:10in my small place in Moore Street.
19:14I don't have a sitting,
19:16so it's a takeaway joint,
19:17like a full truck.
19:22Of course,
19:23it's a pressure
19:23as a business owner,
19:25but end of the day,
19:26you stay with your family,
19:28you can see the family,
19:29and then you do what you want to do.
19:34It is, I can say,
19:36a small place,
19:37but I treat it like a five-star hotel.
19:41It's Sri Lankan New Year,
19:43and Nalim is throwing an official launch party
19:45in the tiny space outside his restaurant.
19:48Everybody come in today,
19:5012.30,
19:51I have one and a half hour
19:53to display all the dishes,
19:56and then I'm ready to go.
20:02Do you get nervous?
20:03Yes.
20:04This is a traditional for us,
20:07you know,
20:07so everybody knows this space.
20:09If you're not right,
20:11they will stay straight away.
20:14I learn as a chef,
20:17you have to be top of the game.
20:19You have to be organized.
20:21You have to be flexible for anything.
20:26If you write attitude in the day,
20:29you can handle anything.
20:33Okay, favor is almost there.
20:35I'm ready to go now.
20:38Bye.
20:47I see the Sri Lankan people
20:50come to the island.
20:53Most of them are living in Dublin.

22:43part-time with children taken into state care she still keeps in touch with some
22:52of the children she has supported for Adam and sisters Holly and Nicole the
22:56years they spent with Edizemi as their social worker changed their lives with
23:01children in care you build attachment with those children because you're working

23:50your footsteps
23:51I am a people person so I love that engagement talking to people getting to know how people feel that
23:59just
23:59who love to engage and to impact lives so that was what drove me to social I know when we
24:07first
24:07went into care and having someone like you on our side as well I know you just were a massive
24:12like support
24:13part in our journey and I think for me at the time was I asked the question and what the
24:19question
24:19was what would be the best thing that would happen to this girl when you first came yeah we we
24:25were
24:25looking for our dad and we hadn't seen him in years and I remember saying it to our foster mom
24:32and like oh we'd like to see her dad again but we knew that other people couldn't find them and
24:37then
24:38you'd managed to find them and now obviously when you did come you'd let us know that he was sick
24:45like that's a big part that I don't think you understand for us you literally did like you
24:50gave us that time with our dad before he passed away and we only got to see him for I
24:56think it was
24:57like three or four little visits we'll just always have that in our hearts with us yeah it was lovely
25:04it
25:04was just it was just nice to have my sister how are you you want essential love you want blocks
25:15tomatoes now 10 for a euro you just have to do Irish tomatoes 10 for a euro right
25:23tomatoes now 10 for a euro mangoes or avocados 3 for a euro
25:35that's how to do it
25:41all summer long we sang a song and as we strolled that golden sand
25:49two sweet hearts two lovers and the summer wind
25:56now I need a bit of music behind me but other than that I'd be brilliant you know what I
26:01mean
26:01ah he's a great worker old-school butcher you know it's very hard to get hard-working men like

26:37Troy's butchers has been a family business for over a hundred years now since Stephen
26:42took the reins with his brother John they've had to adopt to new customer tastes in order to stay busy
26:48a goat and why we do this is more the multinational customers
26:53taking a mostly all the past couple of years that last 20 years maybe you know for that this is
27:00a
27:01delicacy between say you got customers to sell to American customers and stuff like that you know
27:08so and yeah this is what we're breaking this we sell three or four days a week that's why so
27:16do you eat it yourself no I haven't tried it I actually believe it or not the first time we
27:25ever taste the goat I I got it off a doctor he gets a couple of kilos every Saturday or
27:30every second week

27:47ox hearts ox tongues and we sell an awful lot of tripe well that was very popular years ago in
27:54Dublin
27:54now as I said this is the stuff that the customers are eating nowadays you know you can't just keep
27:59them with
28:00anything I'll be kind around gentlemen I might let a spinny yeah let it all please yeah oh yeah
28:06oh yeah oh pork oh garlic yeah I heard you want your picture with me do you my name is

28:17don't know this woman's name Messi Messi go to football I'll get my my meat in yeah
28:33so she is not only pretty huh under an initiative run by Temple Bar markets and Dublin City Council
28:46more diverse stalls have recently been introduced to Moor Street Reiki healer and Oracle reader Amanda
28:53is trying to get her first business off the ground this is my style in Moor Street this tree is
28:58amazing
28:58okay today will be Oracle readings Tara readings providing some jewelry handmade crystal jewelry we're
29:06here every Friday and Saturday and it's to try and bring life back into the street and you know
29:10bring a bit culture and keep it alive most importantly I think Moor Street picked me I think Moor Street's
29:18toughen me up I will never in my whole life forget what Moor Street has done for me the street
29:24you
29:24know it's taking me in and giving me a chance and made me see value in myself and the confidence
29:30has
29:31grown that's not 100% you know what I mean but it has grown and it's like taking me in
29:36as a rough time
29:36and it's starting to polish me up you know that's the best way I can put it it's polishing me
29:41up so I'm here it'll be next Saturday
29:56my early life was a struggle definitely a struggle from childhood we were put at risk
30:02at the hands of a family member and yeah there was you know as children we shouldn't have been
30:08so yeah yeah so it was it was a cruel it was a battle that we were in and out
30:14of care homes we
30:15were um we didn't have the childhood we should have had so yeah we had to try and make up
30:22for that in life
30:23ourselves I blocked a lot of it out and the trauma kind of resurfaced then it spiraled as I got
30:33older I
30:33mean you name it addictions everything no no like everything um abusive relationships yeah that's you
30:40know everything so up to this point it took to in around the last I'd say a couple of years
30:47for me
30:48to say no more obviously I went into my healing journey and I am doing therapy still and a lot
30:55of
30:55holistic healing and stuff so it does get easier I had no plans on a business or anything like that
31:02but I
31:02did want to do something for me that would help heal people because that was my space to find and
31:07heal myself I found my niche was art and crystals and you know stuff like that and that's where
31:13happiest I'm happiest when I'm doing all spiritual things I feel comfortable yeah just give it a second
31:21the usual and five four three two one give it a little I think my authority in doing this with
31:31people is because I have my testimony you know that kind of way so I feel pain and I can't
31:37explain it
31:38any better than that because I'm kind of really strong empath I feel their pain when they're standing
31:43across the table for me and that's how I know it's time to help them I don't arena of a
31:55couple of
31:56traders and one particular lady are you were right with three things but you were shit with the rest
32:00and that's completely okay do you know what I mean so I'm still okay with the three things you know
32:05that way so because everyone is entitled to their opinion not I don't ask anyone to believe in what I
32:10do it's their choice if they're coming to me okay every single person on the street is trying to find
32:19their way in life yes you face trouble at those drug addicts there's all sorts you know that come
32:26at you there's always a risk every day in Moore Street there are stabbings there's beatings there's
32:31dealings but you toughen up to it so I think for us anyway it's either it's gonna make you or
32:37it's gonna
32:38break you and for the best part of us I can say thankfully it's making us so hopefully it continues
32:44that way it's been two months since the Liam launched his Moore Street business the daily
32:55commute from his home in Wexford and the pressure of running another takeaway in Wicklow is starting to
33:00take its toll it is successful I'm traveling or two hours in the morning stay another 10 hours in Dublin
33:10and go back per day around four hours five hours in the road as the last couple of week I
33:21only sleep
33:21three four hours the most it have anything you have your own vegetable your meat you have restaurant
33:31everything in Moore Street yes I'm in Moore Street mall in corner the shop but the corner shop it is
33:39a
33:40one of gym because it is a small place but you can do more things positive thing happening at the
33:51moment so
33:53management gave me to sit in so they're good for me at the moment so I hope the the my
34:02business will be
34:03increased of course this is a loading bay we cannot ask more table you know even though it's been a
34:14relentless pace for Nalim business so far has been slow he's hoping that some flyers might help to get
34:22the word out the word out the Sri Lankan restaurant in Moore Street down the mall yeah beautiful good it's
34:31a
34:31first time in Ireland and then you have a variety of Sri Lankan food and then what is the street
34:42food
34:42that's a very famous in Sri Lanka and then we have the canopy at the moment I gave everything to
34:50the this
34:51I I had a two houses I put everything in I said I put it into the business I lost
35:00so much money at the
35:01moment but I know I know it will be success because the people feedback coming that's the my I can
35:12I can
35:13be strong every day my son he working at the moment he's the one looking out of the house he's
35:24paid the
35:24rent and everything they're all supporting me to become a success you know I have a good wife without
35:31Tarika I'm not here she's she's brilliant woman she always encouraged me she said to me now your time is
35:39coming now so it's coming yeah it's a very hard hard time we have last last two three years I
35:55just want to make good food to
35:57give people but as a business is something different
36:24me and Philomena we like to dine together but we're having them sausages and puddings
36:31that was done in the air fryer, so we're healthy.
36:37We have to depend on the shops there, and they're obliging.
36:40We bring it in and they'll hear.
36:46It's lovely.
36:51Would you like to sign our petition,
36:54help save Moor Street from demolition?
36:57Would you like to sign our petition?
37:02Thank you very much.
37:04We're trying to save the street and the market
37:06because the cars that be want to destroy it,
37:09so we won't let them.
37:11And you won't because you're all signing.
37:14I've been doing this for ten years.
37:16Ten years ago, I was walking down Moor Street
37:18and saw the campaign.
37:19I said, oh, this is right down my alley.
37:22I'll go and sit there every week.
37:24This is part of our living history.
37:30Bronagh has a personal reason to campaign.
37:32Her grand uncle, Harry Boland,
37:34was one of those holed up in 14 to 17 Moor Street,
37:37the location of the end of the Easter Rising,
37:40on April 29th, 1916.
37:43The red shuttered buildings are now owned by the state,
37:46and there are plans afoot for a commemorative centre.
37:49But Bronagh is petitioning to preserve the rest of the street
37:52because of its historical importance.
37:56Repair and care of the whole terrace is very important
38:00because they started at the first house
38:02and came out of the last house.
38:03And why would you just preserve four in the middle?
38:07Do you know what I mean?
38:08Why not preserve the whole terrace?
38:13Granda and Harry went to Richmond Barracks.
38:17They were arrested and brought there.
38:20He never mentioned anything about 1916.
38:22A lot of them didn't.
38:24But I heard stories then through my aunts.
38:27They would tell me bits and pieces about who helped,
38:29who didn't help, whatever.
38:32I'll be signing this.
38:33Yes, thank you very much.
38:34I want your Facebook page.
38:35Oh, very good.
38:38My dream is for all the houses to be repaired
38:42and people being allowed to go through
38:46to see exactly where they tunneled through.
38:52I'd love to see inside the buildings
38:54and I'd love to bring my grandchildren with me
38:56and say this is where your great-great-grand-uncle went through.
39:02Maybe you'd know more about that than I would.
39:05No, she's talking about the rising.
39:07Yeah, well, you'd know more than that.
39:08No, I wouldn't really.
39:09No.
39:10I wasn't even born.
39:12Were you not?
39:12Are you for real you weren't born?
39:14Oh, jeez.
39:15Are you listening to this?
39:16Yeah, no.
39:17It's just stories we were told.
39:19My granny used to tell us stories all about that.
39:22We'd just listen to the stories.
39:24Yeah.
39:24And then Mary's dad was shot in the air.
39:28Yeah, really.
39:28Grandfather.
39:29Oh, your grandfather, yeah.
39:30Oh, jeez.
39:31My granny told us he was shot in the air
39:33and all I could see was these big cauliflower ears.
39:35How in the name of God can you shoot somebody in the air?
39:38Lovely pair of ears.
39:48Not far from Moore Street, Reiki healer Amanda is renovating a space in her flat that will
39:53become her own treatment room.
39:55She has big plans and is awaiting news from her local enterprise office about possible business
40:00funding.
40:01The wobble of these is deadly.
40:03I've got muscles I never thought I'd have.
40:05By November, I'm hoping to have my therapy room opened up where I will be providing sessions
40:11of healing with Reiki.
40:13And the happiest part of my day is when I see the original wood creaking through.
40:17Because I've spent hours doing this.
40:19So when I see that, how sad is that?
40:22So I know I'm not stupid what's ahead of me.
40:25But there's no room for failure and I'm not going to.
40:28No.
40:29No.
40:29Right now, no risks.
40:31Hard work.
40:31A lot of hard work.
40:32So burnout is probably my only risk.
40:35But I'm okay with that.
40:37I have a plan and yeah, November it will be the launch hopefully.
40:42Fingers going crossed.
40:44This is going to be the therapy room.
40:46I absolutely love it.
40:48And we're not going to be putting the floors in till last.
40:51As you can see, everything that's going on, it would be pointless to me putting floors
40:55in right now.
40:56Then here we're going to have beside the salt lamp.
40:59So just picture it with me.
41:01Visualise guys.
41:02It's the best way to manifest.
41:03So this is, we're going to have a small table with three layers and some plants here
41:08and a very large salt lamp.
41:10Over here is going a very large palm plant.
41:13Real.
41:13All real.
41:14Then a little desk, the reiki and simple.
41:17That's it.
41:18Be thriving within a year.
41:20Have maybe a shop opened up within two years.
41:23Within three years then hopefully be able to travel and hire more staff.
41:27Next year I really want to have at least another member staff who is on a journey like me.
41:33Now originally I hadn't heard anything from the Enterprise House and I thought you know
41:38what, I have to just go ahead with it anyway because this was my plan.
41:40This was what I was going to do.
41:42And I thought okay maybe it wasn't meant to happen.
41:44I just got an email today from the Enterprise House and I am with them on Friday.
41:51Everything in my whole life, even up to a couple of years ago, I never thought about standing
41:56this spot.
41:57But if you have been through hell and you've managed to heal, then your calling is to be
42:03a light worker, to be a healer, to show people how to do it.
42:06Because that's all people want.
42:07They want to know how to heal.
42:08They want to know that there's hope.
42:11If I hadn't been in Moore Street, I don't think I'd be standing here and getting ready
42:16to open my business.
42:17And I'm not saying possibly, I'm saying getting ready to open my business.
42:21So, yeah, to me it's spiritual, everyone's spiritual in a sense.
42:25But it did that.
42:27And the street did that.
42:28And if you can survive that then, yeah.
42:31Yeah, build your empire.
42:32Do you know?
42:45It is now just five months since Nalim launched his restaurant in the Moore Street Mall.
42:52Unfortunately, despite all the hard work and the sacrifices he has made, his dream is over.
42:58So we are close in Dublin branch.
43:04So sad.
43:06So many friends.
43:09So many customers, new customers.
43:13All the Sri Lankan community helped me to do this.
43:22I'm in the corner shop.
43:24People don't know where I am, what I'm doing.
43:29Football had to be there.
43:31Location had to be there.
43:33Costing, how much you put the fuel to come every day.
43:37And then what effort you put in.
43:44You're doing your own business.
43:46It is, it is very, very difficult.
43:52So I'm still learning point.
43:57I don't know how other people did.
43:58I don't know when I can achieve that target.
44:03It is a long process to success as a businessman.
44:09Last order.
44:14I never give up.
44:16The cooking is my life, you know.
44:28Y'all know what?
44:32The one that's wrong with you.
44:33I don't even know what I can achieve.
44:34You get this.
44:35That's all, this is the same for you.
44:36You're so afraid.
44:36You're so afraid.
44:37But you're so afraid of building all this.
44:39You're going to do the same for you.
44:39The same for you, it's not even your body.
44:43You're so afraid to go free.
44:44You're really so afraid of learning at home.
44:45You're so afraid of getting it.
44:46What are you doing?
44:48Ryan, yeah.
44:50Car-breaking class.
44:54Those trees are very important.
44:57Siobhan is over here.
44:59She has one of the stalls.
45:00Siobhan, how's it going? Happy Tuesday, good to see you.
45:03Happy Tuesday, how are you?
45:04How was your bank holiday weekend first of all?
45:06Oh, it was lovely, nice and relaxing.
45:12Right, about ten minutes, yeah.
45:20Hello.
45:21The funeral is passing in ten minutes.
45:24If you pull your shirt on, yeah?
45:30Hello.
45:31You know the funeral is passing through, yes?
45:32Yes, yes, yes.
45:33It's coming in about ten minutes.
45:34If you just pull your shirt on while it passes, boy, just for respect.
45:37No worries.
45:38It's the tradition on the street, good man.
45:40So you're here every day from what time?
45:42From Monday to Friday from eight in the morning
45:44until six in the evening.
45:46Long old days, Siobhan, I have to say.
45:48I'm a grandfather, what can I say, Robbie?
45:50You are the grandfather, you always have me.
45:52You are the grandfather, I have to say.
46:01Let's go.
46:07And let's go.
46:10Hey.
46:11I'm the other man.
46:12The mother is a man.
46:17When is she...
46:17This woman is a man.
46:17She's a man.
46:18I'm a man.
46:18The woman is a man.
46:19I'm a man.
46:19The woman is a man.
46:20We are the lady.
46:20The woman is a man.
46:52Just seeing everyone that I basically grew up around all on the street clapping for my mom, it's like my
47:02mom's still there. If you get me, she's there in the car with me and we're driving down and everyone's
47:06saying hello.
47:21One thing I wanted to do was give me mom the best send-off we could give her. And I
47:26think we don't know, I think we made her.
48:21I think it's very important to remind yourself things could get a little bit messy.
48:26Holy hell. I was jealous. That's my boy, I should look like that, not him.
48:31Pierce going to the window, looking out, seeing dead bodies on the street.
48:35Some people go for American dream, so I have my Irish dream. I love it.
48:40It's all done.
48:45Okay.
49:08Yay!
