    Well the traffic is bad. While there's been a few incidents lately, it's not like it's the wild west. Around 100,000 people living in the area, so all sorts of things - good and bad - do happen.

    Does anyone know what practical steps you can take / request of the council/guards/whoever in relation to illegal dumping? There's regularly unmarked white vans going round the likes of R121 dumping bags of rubbish every few meters; watched them doing it the other night and have heard others report it. There's rubbish everywhere now with the winds (some of it is from regular bins, but most is blowing out of the illegal dumping) and it's quite a pain in the arse to be picking it out of your garden and just unsightly.

    Blanch is generally a very good area but there are loads of surrounding areas that are regularly referred to as Blanchardstown simply because they are covered by Blanch garda station. Just like most of the areas calling themselves castleknock are not in castleknock you have the same with blanch. If you are considering moving you should be more specific about the particular area. Closer to blanch village and Roselawn are generally very good areas with older populations and good services. To the west of the center is more mixed but generally fine as is much of Corduff. Mulhuddart is a separate area and shouldn't really be referred to as blanchardstown at all.

    Just drove in, I was in the carpark. A lady in the carpark was telling me . They put a knife up to him. She wasn't sure if they got anything as it happened so fast. The drove of was about 6 : 40 pm . The cops was there just before 7 pm as I was leaving.
    Spoke too one of the girls at the till she seems shocked , she was furthest away .
    Was at the till next to the exit!
    The staff member who it happened to is ok. Well justr upset and shocked.

    Coverage said the victim was "well known" to the Gardai. Must be a serious bad egg.

    Sorry to hear that.
    Are you able to post car details and the possible time of theft?
