i dont think Ireland in the sixties was the most tolerant liberal place to live. The catholic church ruled the day and we were poor and miserable. it wasnt the sex, drugs and rock n roll that may have been evident in the USA. My friends say man, i would have loved to live back then Yea, the TV view of the 60's would have been great. Sitting around all day, stoned, listening to dylan and hendrix. But to be honest we can do that now, and Ireland is a far far better place to live now than it was then. We had no post-war boom, as we werent in the war so we never boomed like everyone else did, untill the 70's for a while, then the 90's and today.
