Dublin Gangs v Limerick Gangs

AckwelFoley

Limerick is a great town and the vast majority of the ppl are lovely, i hate to see a small minority give it such a bad name.

Here here!

IMHO Limerick city itself was NEVER as dangerous for the average Joe Soap wandering through it as Dublin city was/is. It's the few idiots from the few families that give it the bad name that it doesn't deserve.

Now that it is officially the most violent town/city in Western Europe (beating luminaries such as Glasgow, Belfast, Liverpool, Manchester and the southern Italian mob heartland cities) are Limerick people going to grow up, admit the place is a bit rough and retract the bull they posted here about Dublin being more violent?

The Great Blasket should do nicely, set it up with cameras everywhere and you're sucking diesel.

First one to make it to Peig's house wins. :cool:

seeing that 10 murders in dublin equals one murder in limerick i think homicide stats are a bit misleading.

The safest spots in the nation, based on headline crimes per 1,000 of populace, are

Roscommon/Galway East - 8.27
Donegal - 8.4
Clare - 8.4
Mayo - 8.77
Cork West - 8.93
Cavan-Monaghan - 8.95

The most dangerous spots, as would be expected, are in Dublin's inner city.

Dublin - North Central - 124.00
Dublin - South Central - 97.49

After this, the trouble spots in Dublin fall off hugely.

Dublin - Eastern - 23.84
Dublin - Southern - 23.80
Dublin - Western - 23.22
Dublin - Northern - 19.64

Cork City comes next at 20.93, then Waterford/Kilkenny at 20.05. Surprisingly, considering Limerick's poor reputation as "Stab City" for a few, high profile gang feuds, Limerick scores well at 16.75

The head of the Keane Collopy crew should meet the boss of Ryan McCarthy Dundon lads and iron this thing out. How did things ever get so far ? After all we are business men. Theres plenty of money there for everyone involved. Each side can stick to its own turf and everyone profits. Also Michael will be aloud to return from Sicily unharmed.

For Gods sake. Another which is worse forum. I lived in Limerick for a couple of years and I feel alot safer there than anywhere else in the country. If you want trouble and you look hard enough, then you will find it. Simple as.

any chance of giving what date those stats are? 2003 or something i think same as the who stats, last year ireland had a little over 80 murders which would give about 2 per 100,000 people which is about average.

And when people say limerick is dangerous they dont mean that everyone is a murderer there of course we understand most people there are decent, you could say the same about any high crime area though

i remember being in limerick city quite a few times as a kid. it was a god forsaken hole back then, full of half pissed shops and boarded up kids. Knacker husband/wife combos would roar abuse at each other as they staggered up the street pausing only to hit each other in the face with their infant offspring. People knew you werent local because you didnt have a scowl on your face which suggested that life had shat upon you steadily since the time your da nicked all your communion money to bet on a traveller bare knuckle fight. I was from ballymun and i still thought limerick city was a hole, thats how bad it was.

everytime ive been back its looked the same tbh

The point is its not dangerous for the average joe walking down the street. Unless your delivering or selling drugs or a best mates with a scumbag then your perfectly safe. That you cant say about all "high crime areas".

In fact I would be so bold as to say when your walking around city centre limerick your probably safer than alot of places due to the fact that all the streets are covered by a centralised CCTV system

website doesn't give a year but i tend to agree with you on 2003, that was a poor year crime wise. Dublin had 73 murders last in total

you sure you didn't mistake Eden Quay for Limerick lol. Last two times i was waiting for the 20B out to my friends house a Knacker husband/wife combo walked past roaring abuse at each other and one of the times punches almost flew.

Dublin gangs would kill Limerick gangs easily. They have a lot more people, even if gang membership was the same per capita, and I'm pretty sure being from the capital makes them automatically more bad-ass, in the same way London gangsters are scarier than gangsters from, say, Southampton.

This is what this thread is about, right?


P.S. I've lived in Dublin for 19 years. I was punched once, for no reason, but otherwise it's been okay.

I've got plenty to do. You, on the other hand, have made up half your post count by writing the same thing in at least three different places. I'd appreciate your comments if you made any attempt to elaborate on them, or if you developed your points so that they're of some relevence. However, I've not seen you do so. There's enough anti-Limerick bias (whether it's justifiable or not is another matter) without the flippant reporting of an un-sourced claim of more violent crime.

Flippant reporting my dear teen?, your location says Limerick yet you must be too busy squeezing spots to see the news local or national, check your sourcing before calibrating the posts of others.
The post was a FACT and very well sourced.
Oh and as for my post counts has it not dawned on you as you were checking my posting history that posting numerous times on one thread does not add to your post count.
As for the 'at least three different places' remark well now I reckon you should get the ol eyes checked my boy.
Would a fact be considered anti-Limerick bias? Not on my part (at least) this mere fact seems to have gotten your dander up tut tut tut relax young man stress can be detrimental and hazardous to your health.

PS

Is that a threat?

the words practice and preaching spring to mind

My mentality is to just get on with things really, so there's certainly nothing impeding about it.

Since when did posting condescending remarks about someone you don't even know make one's posts of a higher calibre than others? Stereotyping teenagers as spotty is not the way to win an argument, especially when this particular one is acne-free. And the condition of my skin has nothing whatsoever to do with the topic at hand. You sir are completely going off the point.

Read your own post again and show me where there's a link, a reference, anything to prove it came from a reliable source. Can you do that? Don't think so.
Yes, since you joyfully exclaimed to the internet that a man had been shot, it has come to light that you were telling the truth. However, that was through no doing of your own but rather via the much more developed posts of others on the Limerick City forum.

I am fully aware that threads in the Thunderdome do not add to your post count. Why? Because hurling insults at strangers on-line is not constructive to healthy debate on serious topics. Which leaves you pretty much redundant, considering you seem to be stalking me in After Hours with the sole intention of negating my posts.

20/20 vision sir, nothing wrong with my eyes. You posted the same "drive by, smily face, etc" in this thread and in 2 others over on the Limerick City forum.

Stating a fact is not bias. The style in which you stated it (on my part at least) was biased.

betty_swollox wrote:

Read my post again. Think about it. Then read it one more time just to clarify. I practice exactly what I preach. See where it says "my mentality is to just get on with things"? You, leader of the opposition, were the one who encouraged revenge. Which, in the context of this thread, shows exactly why Limerick has such a bad reputation.

How about a Big Brother job, and each week we text in to vote off one gang member, or like the Apprentice, and possibly vote off the one who generated the least gross profit from drug sales over the week

I hear Hollywood is making another Mortal Kombat film about the gangs. FINISH HIM...Anto!
