Fight in broad Daylight on Talbot Street. - Some call it Karma

I hope that 747 bus stopped at the lights wasn't full of tourists. What a welcome to Ireland

And now that I think of it, when did the 747 last travel down Gardiner St?

Old footage me thinks.

I seriously do not see how anyone from Dublin can show pride in being from such a place when things like this frequently happen, it is even being displayed on this thread. I find it quite sad actually, Dublin would actually be a grand enough old spot if it didn't have the likes of those umbrella wielding troglodytes inhabiting the city.

I go to university in Galway and I've never seen violence like I've seem on my relatively regular visits to Dublin, not even the same scale of junkies or dodgy looking characters either. I know that Galway is smaller in scale than Dublin in terms of population and size, but per capita, there's no comparison to how scum-free it is against Dublin and Limerick, although I'm not that familiar with the latter so I'm only going on one or two visits.

There's a great video of a knacker fight on Eyre Square on Youtube somewhere. Which is proof that Galway is an uninhabitable cesspool too. :rolleyes:

Spanish Arch? Outside Supermacs in Eyre Sq in the early hours?

Actually I wonder if Fairgreen Hostel is open anymore as the square had plenty of drunks when it was

Not a huge drug problem in Galway but certainly common to see people with cans and buckfast hanging around all day and shouting at random people.

I never said Dublin wasn't an uninhabitable cesspool, so I don't know why I'm directed with such a statement, if it's there than I'll watch it after work. I never said it doesn't happen in Galway, it happen in almost everywhere in fact, even places like Leitrim and Monaghan where things are relatively quiet, I just said to far less of an extent in comparison to Dublin.

comparing an actual city to what is essentially a large town in the west of Ireland is laughable.

Don't get me wrong, Galway's great but the amount of random violence that happens there is irrelevant.

Dublin has a bigger population and a fairly small land area. As a result you will see more incidents like this. It's not a hard concept to grasp.

I live in one of the bad, unsafe areas of Dublin. I've lived there for 12 years and have been attacked twice in those 12 years.

I lived in Limerick (Castletroy) for 6 months and was attacked about 4 times, and saw more fights there than I've ever seen in Dublin.

There are scumbags everywhere. Generally, if you can look after yourself and have a bit of cop on, you'll be safe in most places.

I never have hassle where I live and I live in a complete shíthole to be blunt. Every area has its good and bad.

People with Druids and Buckfast, yes; but never seen them shouting at people. In fact never heard about them ever causing much trouble apart from loitering and smelling bad.

/ Dublin is better/worse then (Insert other Irish town or city, here) thread.

It's tiresome and boring.
