    if there was one place that you had to say you would never EVER go in Ireland because you thought it was the most intimidating place in the country where would it be? everyone has that one place that scares the sh*te out of them and im curious to see where other people think in the country :)

    I don't to offend anyone with this post, but coming from Dublin, as a child back in the day Ballymun was always seen as the 'ghetto'. I remember playing a football game there. Grand bunch of lads altogether, but before we arrived, we were all sh/ting ourselves from all the stories and myths surrounding the place.

    The downstairs toilets in Busaras. If I ever get murdered, I know it will be there.

    Ormeau road

    Coole in Westmeath, had to drive through there a few years ago. It was like a scene from a western, tumbleweeds and so forth. :(

    The toilets in Grogans (Dublin).

    Actually, even the vicinity of the toilets in Grogans.

    seriously, how do places become this bad in ireland?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,477 ✭✭✭grenache


    Hyde Road, Limerick City.

    I have to drive through it every day to get to work, i would never dream of walking down it any time of the day or night. I used to work near it and its rough as f*ck and it seems that every third criminal in the city comes from that area.

    And as in a street.. i would say.. hmm.. anywhere in belfast.. its a stinking rotten smelly dump.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    that alley where stabby Joe hangs out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,893 ✭✭✭Davidius


    Well considering that I'm well into my crime fighting career, I don't think anywhere scares me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    I cant remember what street it is on the outskirt of Dublin City but theres this ominous street sign that just points out to 'The West'

    As a fairly cautious individual i thought itd be bad, but i felt safer walking around in places up there than i do in Dublin City

    "feeling safe" is a state of mind.

    A hammer in the face is reality

    They're all over Dublin! Makes me laugh. Galway? Roscommon? Clare? Sure it doesn't matter where you're heading to, just follow the signs to........The West! :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    Every city and a lot of towns will have parts were one does not feel safe ,We have nothing to fear except fear itself ,although the fear is probably more real in some places more than others.

    I can tell you're jealous of the fact that I'm in the Justice League. I'd like to Norris do that. Chuck Norris is just a rip-off of Captain Falcon anyway.

    Galway/Mayo/Sligo/Roscommon = The Wesht

    You have to take the same road out of Dublin to get to all four.

    Then they split about 45 mins outside Dublin.

    Anywhere in Dublin that has "bally" in front of it. eg Ballymun, ballybrack

    Fassaroe was a scary place a few years ago, lots of viscious girl gangs. You could walk in one end and run out the other minus your belongings/innocence/hair/cheeks...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 870 ✭✭✭Pen1987


    Most of the places people think of as ****holes are full of the best people and unfortunately dotted with some the worst.
