The problems Dublin traffic congestion creates for pedestrians.
A view of Dublin from the pedestrian's perspective in north inner city Dublin.
In Gardiner Street, Abbey Street, Talbot Street and around Liberty Hall, there is a lack of pedestrian crossings making it very difficult to cross the road in the busy Dublin traffic.
If they happen to step into the roadway a second or two before the light turns from red to green, they'll get a swift vision of hell open for sinners as the demented drivers swarm around them.
This episode of 'Newsbeat' was broadcast on 2 December 1969. The narrator is Frank Kelly.
