00:00Two pounder chops, no for £50.
00:03To match ten for a euro.
00:05Deep in Dublin's north inner city lies Moor Street.
00:10Known widely for its history and its traders,
00:13all life is on the streets.
00:15I want to contribute to the society.
00:18Don't be worrying, just spend, spend, spend.
00:21This iconic street has become one of the most diverse places in Ireland.
00:25And while its future is uncertain...
00:27It's the not known where we're going to end up, that's the stressful part.
00:31There's no place quite like it.
00:34It's going to make you, or it's going to break you.
00:37Oh!
00:4883 I was in June.
00:50I'm still walking.
00:53When I was selling paper since I was seven years of age,
00:55all around the place.
00:57Every pub all around.
00:58And then I got Aloysius when I was 14.
01:03Aloysius was trained.
01:05Sixth of us.
01:07You didn't get good money in the street then.
01:10The street was all here with little apple soils and all.
01:13None of those big things.
01:15We worked off small tables and all they did.
01:18And we used to rob the apples.
01:21A bit of wire on it.
01:32More Street's historic role in the Easter Rising of 1916 centres on numbers 14 to 17.
01:38Unlike much of the street, which is in the hands of property developers,
01:42the four houses have been owned by the state since 2015.
01:45The OPW are leading the conservation and adaptation of the houses into a commemorative centre.
01:51Architect Gráinne is leading the design element of the project and plans are at an advanced stage.
01:57I'm sure the traders are wondering, you know, what's happening and all these people coming in and out and wearing
02:03hard hats.
02:04And, you know, here's another big delegation coming to visit More Street.
02:08And it has been slow and there's a history there and there are reasons for that.
02:13Well, I think we're at a point with the project now where it is happening.
02:17You know, the support is there, the money is there, the pressure is there.
02:21We'll hopefully get to site next year.
02:23It's slow, it's careful work.
02:25So, you know, there's a guts of 18 months, two years of construction.
02:30We're in 14 and this is where you will enter when you're coming in to visit.
02:35And it'll be there'll be a reception kind of here.
02:40Coming up the stairs, it's all protected with protective ply because underneath this is the baluster and the stairs of
02:50the original 1759, 1760 staircase.
02:54And it's quite remarkable that they survive in all of the four buildings.
02:59The reason why it's a monument is really because of the significant events that took place.
03:06So obviously in 1916, the leaders and the rebels escaped from the GPO.
03:11It was burning.
03:12They made a dash across Henry Street into Henry Place.
03:16They eventually broke into Number 10 Moore Street and they stay there overnight while the other rebel soldiers burrowed from
03:23building to building up the terrace.
03:25And then they moved gradually and ended up, as we understand, in Number 16.
03:31And it's in Number 16 then where the leaders rested, had their final council of war and made the momentous
03:38decision to surrender.
03:42The visit will be guided, very small groups, and this is all to do with the limited capacity of the
03:49buildings to take large groups.
03:50But it also really is appropriate to the kind of nature of the experience.
03:56To some extent, it's a sombre story. It's a serious story.
04:03We're in 16 and we're going from ground floor to first floor.
04:06And I just stopped to kind of look at the blocked up or the repaired opening that would have been
04:12the breach in the wall, the tunnel between 15 and 16.
04:16So the rebels would have broken through from the other side and they wouldn't necessarily have known that they were
04:24going to break out onto the stairs.
04:27You had Connolly on a stretcher and you had another British soldier on a stretcher coming in and out, negotiating
04:35this difficult gap.
04:38As you go around the houses as a visitor, you could maybe put yourself into that experience or that sense
04:45of what it might have been like for the rebels as they knocked their way through.
04:49And in Number 16, you'll learn more about the leaders.
04:53You'll learn more about what precipitated the decision to surrender.
05:00There's reference to Pierce going to the window, looking out, seeing dead bodies on the street.
05:08I suppose one tries to imagine oneself and you never cease to be moved when you think about coming to
05:15that decision that this can't go on.
05:17The reality of what was happening probably confronted him very, very powerfully.
05:22And obviously they had their council of war. They made that decision. You'll go into the room where that happened.
05:29You have the sense of the sound of the street. And that's really, really quite potent, I think, and quite
05:35evocative.
05:37Moore Street has no cars on it. So it's really the sound is the hubbub of people's voices.
05:44Hopefully the museum or the national monument will be something that says this street has been looked after and it
05:52matters.
05:53If it can make a contribution to revitalization of Moore Street, then that really would be terrific.
06:02If it can succeed at the local level, it will succeed at every level.
06:07Irish tomatoes now 10 for a euro.
06:10Years ago we were running firm tomatoes.
06:14Sound.
06:15Sound tomatoes, that's right.
06:17How much is this?
06:21I think two euro.
06:24Two euro.
06:25Okay.
06:27And people say, what does that mean, sound? It means the heart.
06:31How much is that taste?
06:33Three for a euro.
06:35But you'd get a euro.
06:36No, I didn't. I said two euro. A box.
06:41Did you buy them?
06:43No, Iran.
06:43Yeah.
06:51Situated over a phone shop on Moore Street, Pisa's tiny boutique is in contrast to the high street stores on
06:57nearby Henry Street.
06:58You can't see this in anywhere in Ireland.
07:01This is very, very special, elegant.
07:04If you want to go for any party, you know, wedding, you want to look different, people would say, oh,
07:11I love this.
07:11So this is why I'm unique.
07:14I love clothes.
07:15I love clothes.
07:16If you ask me to choose between my clothes or a man, I'm going to choose my clothes.
07:21Because I love clothes more than anything.
07:24That is what gives me happiness.
07:26Once I see anything I like, I'll go for it.
07:30I'm like, people will say, I don't know if I will use the word junkie in clothes.
07:34What does that do?
07:36I try to do my own thing to be different from other people.
07:40Harry's style, they are not too flashy in their design.
07:45They don't pop up.
07:47We in Africa, we imitate Americans.
07:50So we always throw out sexy, try to show off.
07:55When you look at downstairs, look at Madison Spencer, it's like most of their things are for old people.
08:02You can't go wrong with this dress.
08:04Have you worn this one?
08:06Yes.
08:08I do.
08:09Any good thing is for me.
08:18Social media is only where now you can sell things.
08:22Everybody is on social media checking what is going on.
08:25So I do the modeling, my niece helps out as well.
08:30When they see you wear it, they will see the fitting.
08:34People will say, oh, peace, I like what we are wearing in the airport.
08:37I say, I have it in shop.
08:39Take a step back, please.
08:42Take a deep breath.
08:44Are you ready?
08:44Yeah.
08:46Buy to look elegant.
08:48The last thing, buy to look elegant.
08:51Buy.
08:53Like my tribe, I'm from the Igbos tribe.
08:56And in my own states, they will say, any country you don't see an Igbo person, that country does not
09:03exist.
09:04Because we travel a lot.
09:07An Igbo person, they are like industrials, they want to make money, they want to make business.
09:14An average Igbo person is a business tackle.
09:18They are like hungry for money.
09:22I say it.
09:24Hi, guys.
09:25You can look elegant with this jumpsuit.
09:30Bye-bye.
09:37Set up outside the 1916 buildings on Moore Street, Charlie comes in most days to busk with his guitar.
09:44I love busking.
09:45What I love the most about my job, it's a very good way of socialising.
09:50Meeting with people and everything like that, and you share good ideas with them and they share good ideas with
09:56you.
09:56There's some who go to bars, they buy their drinks and so on.
10:00I don't, I just love socialising here.
10:04It's ages since I've been to a bar.
10:11My dad didn't want me to be a guitar player.
10:13He wanted to be a civil servant like himself, but as far as I was concerned, the die was cast.
10:20I had thought of becoming an actor, but it could be a very sort of boring task.
10:25I love the series Father Ted, but some of the acting there.
10:28I mean, you have Mrs. Doyle, and all she gets to say is,
10:32I go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, have a cup
10:37of tea.
10:37That's all she gets to say.
10:45I can't read or write music, and I felt inadequate, I suppose.
10:49And I was going to stop with guitar.
10:52And people told me, no, don't you do that, you know, which is really nice.
10:57But I still have a lot to learn.
11:10I'll sing what's certain, little age in the end.
11:18Let me start for two, little meaning to say.
11:23The Ilac shopping centre on Moore Street houses the central library where Charlie comes to play music and read.
11:29It's a sanctuary for him, a place to escape the hustle and bustle of the street.
11:34I like to read aphorisms.
11:36And there's a Viking book of aphorisms.
11:39So it's books about quotes that you like?
11:41Sorry?
11:41Quotes and things, a book of quotes?
11:43If I got you a book of quotes, would that be good?
11:45That'd be good, that'd be excellent.
11:46Okay, if you stay there, I'll get you.
11:47Okay.
11:48But yeah, I like to study books of geniuses.
11:55Oh, lovely!
11:58Well, try Abbott and Costello.
12:00How stupid can you get?
12:02How stupid do you want?
12:06Or how about this one?
12:07Some are wise, others are otherwise.
12:12Song by the Tremolos.
12:14It's called Silence is Golden.
12:17Talking is cheap, people follow like sheep, even when there is nowhere to go.
12:23I really love that song.
12:26I travelled around mainland Europe a lot.
12:30I've never seen anything like Moore Street.
12:33It is beautiful.
12:34I've never come across any place that has its own character quite like here.
12:49In the Moore Street Basement Mall, Lisa, who's from Georgia, has been running her alteration business for nearly a year.
12:56She has big plans for the shop, maybe even for a fashion brand of her own one day.
13:01And she has loyal customers for her alteration service.
13:10Hey, Lisa.
13:11Hello, how are you?
13:12How are you?
13:13It's very good.
13:14You?
13:14Great.
13:14I stitch it here and short it.
13:18Brilliant.
13:19Brilliant.
13:19You're a great worker.
13:20You do army stuff.
13:21Thank you so much.
13:21I travel in from North County Dublin to you.
13:23Very good.
13:24Very good.
13:28I have idea for my brand.
13:33I want to stitch classic dresses, clothes for women.
13:43I like Coco Chanel, and I want to put in this style a little bit my line, a little difference
13:56for this.
13:58This is my designs.
13:59This was one scarf, and I make it for minutes, this for me.
14:07Ok, this one.
14:08This was jeans.
14:11And I changed it for my skirt.
14:23And I changed it for skirt.
14:27I had montrer my clothes, a littleGS.
14:33And I got married to my wife.
14:34I had a very nice thing like that, so I had to wear it back.
14:51My life was very difficult, if you believe yourself, all go very nice, good and good.
15:04And go up and up, step and step, step by step.
15:11I have a jujitsu club in North County, Dublin.
15:15We're always looking for wrestlers to come in.
15:17And Georgians are good wrestlers and good judo players.
15:19So if anyone's looking to do judo or jujitsu, get them to give me a ring.
15:25Yes, this is my brother.
15:26One finger push-ups?
15:28Yes, he's an European champion.
15:31European?
15:31He was, yes.
15:32I'd have strong fingers, yeah, but I've no need for him.
15:37I've no need for him.
15:54Arriving early on Saturday morning, Heather works for the Temple Bar Company.
15:58They run the weekly Moore Street Markets with Dublin City Council.
16:01Along with the usual business happening on the street today, she's preparing for a very different kind of event.
16:08It's Pride!
16:10So excited.
16:11It's going to be a great day.
16:13Been long in the making, I think, at this point.
16:16Yeah, no, super excited.
16:19I'm a musician myself.
16:21I spend a lot of time out and about and gigging and in clubs and in bars and at parties.
16:27So when it comes to my own parties, I'm definitely a host.
16:30Like, I'm definitely a Monica character, if you will.
16:33You know, I love putting on a good event.
16:36I love kind of sharing those experiences with people.
16:39So I guess that's kind of what led me into finding this job.
16:42I don't think there's any point in life without kind of a community.
16:48Grand stuff.
16:50We just need to get a stage.
16:52If we get a stage, that'd be fantastic.
16:54It'd be brilliant.
16:55This is my first Pride on Morse Street.
16:57I've done other events in the past, but this will be my first Pride.
17:01What I worry most about is the weather affecting the equipment, the equipment working properly,
17:07and those people in the world who just like to cause a ruckus.
17:11So just watching for that on the day.
17:14You know, it's going to be a very, very busy day.
17:15It's going to be a lot of people coming in and out of town.
17:18So just making sure it's the whole thing run smoothly.
17:21While the production may be stressful, I'm not really stressed about the acts.
17:25I have a lot of faith in the artists I've booked.
17:27I've talked to all of them in great lengths about the event itself.
17:31And I think once things kick off, I think the community of Morse Street is really going
17:36to be really appreciative of what's going on.
17:39It's nice.
17:40It's interesting because we get to do this every year.
17:43I was there last year and, you know, we had great fun.
17:47You know, we had a lot of people coming in and after the parade, they came down.
17:52People were buying food and so, yeah, it's good.
17:55One o'clock, we have the drag queen takeover because, you know, it's pride.
18:00You can't have pride without a drag queen.
18:02We'll have two drag queen performers who'll put on a bit of a show.
18:05And then we have a DJ with drag queen host.
18:07We'll finish the evening off.
18:09What are you talking about?
18:10I think this is going to be one of those moments in the documentary where, like, they zoom
18:13in on me telling you something bad.
18:15There's no power on the street.
18:20There's a power cut.
18:22This is Morse Street, typically.
18:23Better to hit my main line on Morse Town Street.
18:25We could be out all day, but we're hoping to be on the next couple of hours.
18:29But at the minute, that's saying six o'clock this evening.
18:32There's a few food stalls around here that need it.
18:35Like, mamashies and everything will need electricity.
18:38So, I don't know, we'll see.
18:40Like, I don't know how they're going to set up if there's no electricity on the street.
18:47But, yeah.
18:59Back on Morse Street, an emergency generator has been found, and power has been restored
19:04for the performers and market traders.
19:08So, we can put the DJ on show.
19:15To have everything set up now in the next, like, ten minutes or so,
19:18they need to kick-start the generator.
19:20So, we'll have that happen.
19:21And then, yeah, kick-off for 11.
19:24Fingers crossed.
19:25Everything runs smoothly.
19:26I think we've had enough hiccups.
19:4018-year-old Noah is performing on the street today as his drag act, Sardonyx.
19:45He has performed only once before in a gay bar, so this will be his very first performance
19:50in front of the general public.
19:52The makeup alone takes four hours to apply.
19:55I kind of treat my face like sections, in a way.
20:00I always kind of start going from my eyebrows up, and then kind of tackle the rest of my face.
20:10I always wanted to, like, draw, but I was never good at it.
20:15But I always had that, like, creative part of me.
20:18So, I'd, like, make things when I was a kid and stuff, or I'd perform, like, a character.
20:23So, like, that.
20:25But with drag, when I did it the first time, I was really bad.
20:30I looked crazy.
20:32But just, like, I immediately was like, okay, this is the one.
20:35I like this a lot.
20:37And it just offers such diversity in what you can do.
20:40Like, in the same week, I can dress up and be a plank of wood, which I have done.
20:46Or I can be, like, just this regal kind of, like, old Hollywood woman.
20:51And then I can be an alien all within the same, like, few days.
20:54But it's all still, like, drag.
20:56And it's just such freedom, almost, with what I can do.
21:04Yeah?
21:06What's up?
21:08Hi.
21:08So, I tried to fix the wig as best as I could.
21:11So, how is she?
21:12Oh, she's grand.
21:13Oh, she's grand.
21:14Yeah?
21:15Yeah.
21:15Sorry.
21:16You're happy enough?
21:17And she's pinned.
21:18Okay, grand.
21:18Well, I have to pin her because it's the only way.
21:20Now, I mean, she is sprayed into oblivion.
21:22She ain't going nowhere.
21:23That is a rock.
21:25I feel like my mom has always known I was quite an extravagant person, flamboyant even.
21:32And so, like, when I came out and stuff, she was like, okay, big deal.
21:37So what?
21:38Who cares?
21:39And then when I was like, I want to start doing drag, she was like, okay, you're not hurting
21:44anyone.
21:45You're not harming anyone.
21:46Who am I to stop you?
21:47You know?
21:48If you enjoy it, if it brings you joy, then it brings me joy.
21:51Your purple eyeshadow is gorgeous.
21:53Keep going.
21:54I won't delay any longer.
21:55If you want something to eat, just roar.
21:56Yeah.
21:57Okay?
21:57Okay.
21:58All right.
21:58Love you.
21:58Love you.
21:59When you have a child, right, you have them.
22:02You bring them up.
22:04You teach them right from wrong.
22:05But when they get to a certain age, they decide who they want to be.
22:09I can't make them into what I want them to be.
22:13So it was important, like myself and my husband, we knew Noah was a spark.
22:19And there was no way that we were going to put it down or die.
22:23And they shouldn't have to.
22:24We just tried our best to make sure he knew where he was safe, where he was loved, where
22:31nothing had to change.
22:32And he shouldn't have to change.
22:35The safest place that any child should have is their home.
22:39When it comes to Moor Street, I remember, especially as a child, going in, we used to meet my nana.
22:46And I think it was a Friday we used to go in and go up and she'd get the fruit
22:52and the veg and the fish.
22:54Then as I got older, I actually started working in Paddy Powers.
22:57And the first Paddy Powers I worked in was the one on Moor Street.
23:02And for the first two weeks, my job was to learn what way the traders liked their tea.
23:08I used to make, I don't know, I think it was about 10 or 12 cups of tea in the
23:12morning and the same in the afternoon.
23:14And woe betide me if I got the sugars wrong.
23:18I could never have imagined at this age I'd be going in to see my son perform in there.
23:26It's something that I could never have contemplated, but I am absolutely delighted it is happening.
23:36It's very weird.
23:38Hey!
23:39Hey!
23:41Look at you.
23:42Twirl, twirl, twirl.
23:43Show me, show me.
23:44Stunning.
23:46Love.
23:46You happy enough with the wig?
23:48Yeah, I'm just...
23:50Oh, braids.
23:51Will you do me a favour on braids now?
23:53I couldn't find the right corset.
23:54My good corset just disappeared.
23:56Listen, you're tiny.
23:57Stop.
23:58You're about the width of my shin.
24:00Give over.
24:01And the wig is working.
24:03It is, and it feels secure.
24:05What can I say?
24:06I have my...
24:07The first time I saw him in good drag.
24:13You're about nine foot two.
24:14Yeah.
24:15You too, I guess.
24:16I was like, holy hell.
24:19Like, the figure, the legs, the hair.
24:22I was like, I was jealous.
24:24I was like, that's my boy.
24:26I should look like that.
24:28Not him.
24:28I have to be there in 30 minutes.
24:30Okay, well, we were all waiting on you, sweetheart.
24:32I know, but like, I...
24:33Okay, Dad's driving.
24:34Calm down.
24:35I want to make this performance memorable.
24:37I'm kind of nervous to do it.
24:39Okay.
24:40Let's do this.
24:41I'll be kind of looking for a decent size of a crowd.
24:45And if I see them applaud, even better.
24:52Let's go, Mama.
24:57Peace came to Ireland from Nigeria in 2004.
25:00She has three children, including her oldest,
25:0320-year-old daughter, Ellen.
25:05Hello.
25:07Hi.
25:08Hello, Ellen.
25:09Hello.
25:10Hi.
25:10Ellen wants to get coral done.
25:13Okay.
25:14So, how do you want it?
25:17All back.
25:18Okay.
25:18Just something simple.
25:20Ellen has a challenge.
25:21She's a special need child.
25:24She has autism.
25:26And her own case is that she doesn't speak.
25:30She understands everything, even my language.
25:33But she cannot express herself.
25:35Mama, are you happy?
25:37Yay.
25:38When she was young, it was difficult.
25:41I believe in God.
25:43And I've accepted it before.
25:47Oh, Jesus.
25:48Seeing your daughter, your child,
25:52struggling.
25:53Emotionally, it can kill.
25:55Mama, you like your heart?
25:57Some of the African people,
25:59they are believing is voodoo.
26:01You know, winch crap.
26:03You know, that kind of a thing.
26:04That's why the child is like that,
26:06or what happened to their child.
26:07No.
26:08I don't talk to them.
26:09I say, no.
26:10They should stop telling you bullshit.
26:13So I want my African people to get sense.
26:15So no, this has nothing to do with winchcraft.
26:19It just happened.
26:21So I made Ellen to understand, and the brothers.
26:25Ellen is not handicapped.
26:27That she doesn't speak does not mean she cannot do anything.
26:30So I treat Ellen the same way I treat everybody in that house.
26:35You know, so all I do is that I tell Ellen,
26:39what do you want?
26:40Go and show me.
26:41So she show me what she want.
26:43You love it.
26:45You love your hair.
26:46Isn't it?
26:46Full of smile.
26:47You're happy.
26:49Eh?
26:50You are.
26:51She loves beauty.
26:53I see it in her.
26:54She loves when you do her hair.
26:56She loves wearing her clothes.
26:58She's kind of, she likes outing.
27:00She's not the type that wants to stay in one place.
27:02You know, she's always, let's go.
27:06But sometimes, she can't be stopped on all.
27:09Don't because she doesn't talk,
27:10doesn't mean she doesn't know her rights.
27:12She knows her rights.
27:17Which color do you like?
27:18Show me the color you like.
27:19Oh.
27:19This is a lovely dress.
27:21It hurts me that she doesn't have friends.
27:24She doesn't have somebody who comes at home
27:26to knock on the door.
27:27Oh, Ellen, I want to see you.
27:29We'll go out.
27:30It hurts.
27:30I need my daughter to have friendship.
27:33I need my daughter to engage.
27:36Ellen is going to be in my care
27:38to the rest of her life.
27:39If I'm not there tomorrow,
27:41my family has to come in and assist.
27:44I don't see Ellen living outside the home, no.
27:47And it's a bit consigned.
27:50Yeah, come and put them here.
27:52I'm telling you, without my family,
27:55with Ellen, maybe I would have been depressed today.
28:00Everybody in the family have accepted it.
28:02You should go to my village.
28:03The love is overwhelming.
28:06Some of them, they even know she doesn't speak.
28:07Sometimes they will come to me.
28:08Some children will say,
28:10oh, why is Ellen not talking to me?
28:11I'll say, go to her.
28:13Speak to her.
28:14Maybe she will talk to you.
28:16Come on, give me a hug.
28:31For many of those running businesses here,
28:33Moor Street represents a chance
28:35for a better life for them and their families.
28:37Lisa has been in Ireland since 2022.
28:40She fled her home in Georgia 20 years ago
28:43because of a difficult marriage,
28:44leaving her then teenage children behind her.
28:46I want this business for a family business.
28:53My life was very difficult.
28:5721 years old, I married.
29:02I have two children, one son, one daughter.
29:06My son is 33.
29:10He lives in Ireland.
29:13My daughter's name is Tamuna.
29:16She lives in Georgia.
29:18She has two children.
29:21This is my very difficult moment
29:25when I speak for my children.
29:29This, because I don't see my children 15 years.
30:04I have a
30:09I'll never be able to stop him, so I'll not give up.
30:12I'll never be able to stop him because I could stop him from the night.
30:18When I was in a while, I was in a night.
30:24I would never be able to stop him from the night.
30:27But I would never be able to stop him from the night.
30:27I'm not going to do anything.
30:46I was maybe 14 when she left, so it was difficult, but in that moment, when I was a kid,
30:55I didn't realize this.
30:58Because we were alone.
31:02I was not living with my mother from my childhood, and when I chose to come to Ireland, I wanted
31:11to be my mother with me.
31:13And I said to my mom to just come with me where I am right now, and she followed me.
31:23My before life was very difficult.
31:28But Ireland, I don't speak English.
31:30All want help me for my job, my life, my first, my documents and all.
31:40I am so, so happy for all.
31:43I hope Ireland helped me bring me my daughter.
31:49Maybe one day we will be together.
31:53Bye-bye.
31:54But life continues.
32:06Hidden down a laneway off Moor Street is Seven, an e-bike shop.
32:11Here, they repair and rent out electric bikes for many delivery riders around Dublin.
32:16Set up by Brazilian Jean, it's a first port of call and a place to hang out for people who
32:21have just arrived in Ireland looking for work.
32:23Hello.
32:24How are you?
32:25Where are you from?
32:26Brasileiro.
32:27How long are you here?
32:29Two weeks ago.
32:31Two weeks?
32:31Welcome.
32:32More than welcome.
32:34Good teacher.
32:35Good teacher.
32:37Seja bem-vindo.
32:38First of all, I'm going to take the bike for you to adapt a little bit.
32:44Hello, how are you?
32:46Fine.
32:46What's your name?
32:47Mateus.
32:48Nice to meet you.
32:49How do you think the traveling from here and why do you come here?
32:55The side to drive is something confused.
32:59Okay.
33:00The left side, but...
33:00Yeah, because it's different, right?
33:02Yeah, from Brazil it's different.
33:03Many people that is making a delivery, they came here to Ireland from another country.
33:11There is many opportunities.
33:13You can make money, you can make friends, you can have a good life.
33:20But you have to go to work, to make, you have to be a better person.
33:50Some people don't speak English.
33:54And many companies need it.
33:57The people speak English to talk with each other.
34:00Go to the front and go to the left.
34:06Okay.
34:06To the left.
34:08In the delivery, you don't need to speak English.
34:11You just show the number, you take the order, but you can start working quickly.
34:16And you start to make your own money.
34:18This is important, yeah?
34:20I'm on your side, here.
34:22I'm on your side, here.
34:25That's it.
34:26Where are you?
34:26You're not going to pass?
34:27Where are you?
34:29Now, yes.
34:31Now, yes.
34:33Because if you don't do this, you have the possibility to cause an accident.
34:38It happened to do this and go straight on the road.
34:44You stay a month without working.
34:46And you don't want that, right?
34:47No, never.
34:48Many people feel alone here, you know?
34:51And we try to help these people.
34:56It's not only renting bikes and fix bikes.
35:01But like I say, we try to give some hope, some words.
35:05It's a bigger thing.
35:07And, like, you want to get married?
35:11You want to get married?
35:11Yes, I think I like a lot of Europe.
35:15I think it's a great life.
35:17Here it seems to be very palpable everything you want.
35:21Of course, you work, it's not easy.
35:24But I think it's a good place to live, you have a good life.
35:27Yes, yes.
35:28I've been here for 2 years and 3 months and I'll tell you something.
35:32As you said, it's not easy.
35:35It's difficult.
35:37It's complicated.
35:38But I love this country.
35:41Because it gave me everything.
35:43Yes.
35:52It's clear that, like Rosie Johnson before her, May Gorman holds a special place in the
35:57hearts of her fellow Moor Street traders.
35:59The coronation took place of a totally surprised new Queen of Moor Street.
36:25Hello, gorgeous, hello, how are you?

41:33Delivery riders in Dublin have often been targets for attack.
41:36Their bikes have been stolen, and some riders have been physically assaulted.
41:42If the people steal your bike, you go work and you buy again.
41:48It's not nice, but it's okay.
41:50But I hear some cases that need to go to the hospital,
41:55and yes, this is a big problem, because they attacked the person.
42:00I remember now one case that the guy was attacked and he broke his leg.
42:05He stayed five months or six months without work.
42:09Some guys, they leave their bikes on our shops,
42:13because if they leave the bikes on the street, it can be dangerous,
42:16because it's electric, and they leave the bikes there, and they go together.
42:21I'm going to fail you to pick up an order.
42:25Yeah.
42:26When I got there, the order was ready, and I didn't lock my bike.
42:30I just parked it outside and ran inside the store.
42:33You can't do that!
42:34I know!
42:35Jin has said that like...
42:36Now you know!
42:38But...
42:38It's only the bicycle.
42:39No, it wasn't just the bike.
42:41My power bank, the one I bought new, was inside the bag.
42:46I was having my cable for my phone.
42:48Two of my jackets were in my bag.
42:51Everything, everything was inside my bag.
42:53I lost everything.
42:54So...
42:55Here in Ireland, it's a really, really good country.
42:58There is some problem, as every country.
43:02But I think there is much more positive things, you know?
43:06Ah, sometimes there is some problem in the streets or something like...
43:12But there is much more people that is nicer, that wants to help.
43:28No matter where you put on these types of events,
43:30you're going to get that sort of behaviour.
43:37It's just a thing on the day to have the security there,
43:40to watch out for anyone who does want to make the day about themselves
43:45and not about the community that it's meant to be about.
43:52He had rosary beads, and he had a little cross at the end of it.
43:54And he was walking past, and I was on the street.
43:56He raised his little rosary beads with a cross,
43:58and was like shoving it in my face.
43:59And I just did a little, like, one, two, three, four.
44:01Because what else am I meant to do?
44:05To me, it won't bother me.
44:07I know that I have a lot of people who are showing up for me,
44:11to support me, to watch me.
44:15But it hurts my feelings.
44:17And I'm the one on the stage, not that.
44:22This is my last song.
44:23I hope you all enjoyed my set,
44:24even though I started with a wig and gloves,
44:26and am ending with no wig, no gloves, and no dignity.
44:30I love my mother, and so should you.
44:33On this pride, let's celebrate the mothers of our queer children,
44:35and the fathers of our queer children.
44:37They all matter a lot.
44:38Without them, we would be nothing.
44:41I love you every day.
44:44Think a little strange in a huge euro,
44:48and you will find a little unconventional.
44:53You know, I know.
44:57Mama, I'm home.
45:02Mama, I'm home.
45:17I'm home.
45:19I'm home.
45:26Honestly, I feel like a proud mama.
45:28Like, I know his mom was here, but it was just amazing.
45:32Like, everything that could go wrong, went wrong.
45:34As I was saying, it's like, hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
45:37We had a speaker fall, started to lash rain.
45:40We had some absolute idiot walking around screaming at the stage.
45:45But, like, Sardonyx handled it so well.
45:48Just made jokes about it.
45:49Just, like, tried to have the fun.
45:52That was my dad's first time seeing me perform.
45:54I hope he liked it.
45:55Yeah, it was good, yeah.
45:56It was brilliant.
45:57Yeah, yeah.
45:58Look at the dad's response.
46:00That means it was excellent and fabulous.
46:01Maybe the next one will walk on the shoes.
46:03Yeah, maybe not cobbled next time.
46:05I warrant it.
46:14Down in the Moore Street Mall,
46:16Liza is celebrating the first anniversary of her alteration shop
46:19with customers and family.
46:24In Ireland, I am so happy.
46:27I see my son and families,
46:30and I have now more energy.
46:33My thing is all for my daughter because she's not here.
