    In this series of photos entitled “Joyriders” Ross McDonnell, portrays the lives of young Irish people living in in the hollowed-out slum known as Ballymun. The images capture the abandonment of working class youths amidst burning cars, police sirens, and drugs abuse.

    But it's near the airport, thats what I loved about it when I was coming home on my package holidays.

    To be fair it has gone downhill since I moved out in '96 and it's crazy when you consider the amount of money pumped into it...and a lot of locals did get jobs in the regeneration of it, although obviously not enough.

    Barry Delaney has a pretty good album on Ballymun btw.
