    Look. If this happened in most countries in the city centre the police would be there within minutes and arrest everybody for any number of offences.

    It's time to stop going "era, they're grand"

    I sometimes wonder why incidents of drowning are so high in this country.

    Then I read a thread like this and remember why.:mad:

    So looks like it was just me then that watched the clip 3 times trying to see what the guys talking were on about. I thought they were videoing the guy in the boat or whatever it is there at the right of the video!
    Even on the 4th go when I went into youtube to watch it and put it on full screen, I was halfway through before I saw it!

    Here's just a few links - they are lots more not reported on. Where the two junkies died at Suir road there was another young man drowned a few months before.

    They pulled a body out at Mespil Road in 2009 that had been missing for months.

    A drunk guy fell into GCD walking from the Spar back to his apartment and was pulled out a few weeks later. Then a couple of months later a van driver cable tied his hands to the steering wheel and drove straight in.

    In 2012, the day before the docklands festival one of these kids was pulled unconcious from the water in front of the Kings of Concrete place and had to be resuscitated for 40 mins by the fire brigade, he was lucky to survive, apparently he didn't know how to swim :confused:

    Accidents and deaths in water happen all the time, usually involves drink and drugs and only seldom are they reported.

    Dec 2007 - Teenagers drowned 'in attempt to cool off'

    Dec 2011 - Grand Canal drowning near Shannonbridge

    Dec 2012 - Homeless couple used drug before drowning in canal

    August 2012 - Donegal fan drowns in Dublin's Royal Canal

    May 2013 - Drowning victim begins journey home to Ardara this evening

    Have jumped off bridges in the middle of foreign cities before. Hand-wringing cries that "Only in Ireland!"are bollocks. If the water is deep enough there, and it seems to be, then it's just a bit of fun. Have jumped off bridges, piers, cliffs, trees and all sorts into water and am still here. A bit of common sense, checking your environment and such and the chances of anything bad happening are pretty slim. Things happen, but it's no reason to not do things that are fun either. If it were, we'd never go sky-diving or driving or anything else much either.
