    What do you think is the biggest dump of an area in dublin??

    Now both the southside and northside have their fair share of dodgy areas, so be more specific!!!
    I think Dolphin's Barn is one dodgy kip and thats right up there with Oliver Bond Flats and O'Devaney gardens..

    Now i know there is decent people in every area blah blah blah.. But be honest!!

    lived in finglas for a year, and its awful. the house kept getting egged, people tried to break into it a few times, a stolen car was crashed into the wall, joyriders around the estate every night, the house overlooked scribblestown lane, which is "murder alley" up there.couldnt really go around after dark, even though it was half a mile to the bus stop. dodgy dodgy characters around the place as well.i hated every second of living there...then i moved to Ballybough!!!the scum from summerhill mugging my mates

    This is not a thread to ask people where they are from, its just to ask what areas you think are bad!!

    Jeasus mate you should have asked somebody from dublin to give you advice on where to get a place!

    some parts of finglas, ballymun, corduff area, parts of tallaght, bits of donaghmede. to be honest, and maybe a bit contraversial, most areas with high density of counsil housing are rough areas. i know not everyone living in X is a scumbag, but the highest proportions are in these areas.

    But would you not agree that in these "bad areas" there are ppl reading this thread from those areas ?

    Difficult question. I'd have to go for the area between Donaghmede on the north and Dalkey on the south. I know that's pretty specific, but there you go.

    lived on ratoath rd. it was the only place i could afford to live, and the only place i could get qiuckly-i had autumn college repeats which meant i only had a week between finding a place to live and starting college. I was aware it was dodgy but couldnt believe it when i saw it. i now, thankfully live in a relatively safe area of Dublin, thank god

    I'm not anti-UK but I hate that recent Brit invented word: Chav.
    Why don't you use knacker or scumbag, those words have served us well for years.
