    So I am a Nordie living in Dublin, Tallaght for my sins, but what is the story with the boardwalk?

    Can the police not do something? Did I miss something like it is allowed? :o

    Some culchies like to refer to all brands of crisps as Tayto. Infact they just replace the word crisps with Tayto.

    i love AH so much. Guy asks about the liffey boardwalk, and 3 of the first 4 replies are about crisps.

    Ask Bruce Willis. He might even write a song about it!

    There's just too many of them. I'm sure the gardai would like to do something but there's only so much time they can devote when there's other more chargeable stuff going on around the city.

    I doubt any of them are major players otherwise they'd have more sense.

    With things the way they are, it's not really justifiable to lock up mere addicts.

    Yeah we obviously need a whole raft of new legislation to deal with this issue as well...the laws to successfully tackle it simply don't exist at the moment. Over to you Dermo...whoops, my bad you're probably just leaving for the airport...ah well...

    Seriously though, you just end up pouring garda resources into moving the dealing to some other spot and then back to the boardwalk again. It's hateful that toursits who're already being fleeced to holiday here have to witness this activity in the heart of what used to be a wonderful city to visit, never mind the locals and businesses that have to coexist alongside open dealing.

    What's "more chargeable" stuff than open drug dealing? Speed traps?

    The police can't do anything, they only have jurisdiction in the north.
