Would you go into town tonight?

Anyone planning on it? Anyone brave enough? Do you think there'll be trouble?

It'll be as safe as ever. (So, yeah - there'll be trouble.)

(FYI, there's more than one town in Ireland...)

Not that I can, obviously. If I was living in Dublin, I wouldn't go anywhere near the city centre tonight. There will be isolated trouble tonight, I'm sure.

Was going to, but I'll probably stay away tonight.

It might well be fine, but better safe than sorry. Might have all sorts in the pubs tonight boasting about what they vandalised and stole.

I wasn't planning to go in, but I'm advising my sister not to. Even if things have 'simmered down', town will be heaving with scumbags high on adrenaline after today.

Eminem - there were big riots in Dublin today.

Have plans to go to a 21st.......gonna go in anyway. I'd say there will be Gardaí everywhere! I wouldnt go wandering around temple bar or anything though. I'll be in the one place for the night and a taxi home.

On a related note, the people who rioted make me sick. That's all I'll say because I have too much to say

I'll be going in. I have a friend over from Germany for the weekend. Unfortunately she happened to be staying in a hotel on Parnell Square and witnessed the events today. She was out on the streets at the time and close to some of the events. Fortunately nothing happened to her. Herself and myself had arranged to meet and did so and then headed out to Dún Laoghaire for the afternoon, as planned, where we had a very nice afternoon. We shall be meeting later again.

Yeah I'm heading into town for the night in about an hour, I think it'll probably be safer than normal, alot of rowdies would have been drinking from early on and will probably be wrecked from the riot earlier and be spending the night at home.

I haven't been in there yet but it must have calmed down alot already because the garda helicopter is back in its normal Saturday night spot circling my estate.

Was in town last night and have to say I've never felt safer on the streets of Dublin at night, the city was heaving with cops. If only they could be out in those numbers every Saturday night!

Town was definitely a bit quieter than normal but not hugely so...
