    From this article For their impact on the character of trade unionism, the most important state interventions were those on the railway and in agriculture. Under severe rank and file pressure, the London-based National Union of Railwaymen (NUR) sanctioned a national strike in Ireland in December 1916. As private interests would not meet the pay demand, the government stepped in to keep the war effort running smoothly, took control of Ireland's thirty two railway companies, and awarded a substantial war bonus. Over the next nine months the NUR's Irish affiliation rocketed from 5,000 to 17,000 members. It was a victory for the rank and file over the union’s London executive, as well as for the union over the railway companies. In 1917 NUR men launched the monthly journal New Way and developed the most articulate rank and file movement in Ireland during these years. The same article mentions James 'Big Jim' Larkin (and his hat and droopy moustache), but according to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Larkin he was in the USA between 1914 and 1923.

    I could not find any film made in 1960 Dublin, but here is a good film of "C I E in the 1960's" just to pass the time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6X-smrTKK54

    Could it be this: www.imdb.com/title/tt0054120/locations "A Terrible Beauty"? ":In Ireland, it's 1941 and Irish Republicans have made a tentative bond with Nazi Germany to help Ireland in its never-ending struggle with Great Britain." Movie was filmed in Dublin

    Anybody see Robert Mitchum in the crowd? lol They filmed "Michael Collins" and "Angela's Ashes" here, but those are much later than the 60's.

    It might be a TV ad, although obviously not for RTE. Or it could be a newsreel...
