Video: Temple Bar gets a slagging off in the catchiest song since ‘Jimmy’s Winning Matches’

All together now: "Round here, your money won't go faaaaar... in Temple Bar!"

Tony Cuddihy

All together now: “Round here, your money won’t go faaaaar… in Temple Bar!”

We’re fairly certain the Irish Tourism Board won’t be advertising this one abroad, but that won’t stop us tapping our feet and nodding along in agreement to Billy Treacy’s Temple Bar ballad.

Billy tells it as it is, our favourite line is definitely: “Please take my advice, the rest of Dublin’s nice, don’t limit yourself to one square mile.”

Quality stuff, it’ll get inside your head for the day.

Be warned.
