What on earth is happening in Dooradoyle? Is it really that bad or are people over reacting? I'd imagine it doesn't help that the place has gotten so big

To be fair the truth would probably be somewhere in the middle. Parts have gotten rough, but most parts are still good.

The scum element, local and those who come from other areas, has grown dramatically over the last five to ten years, but the same can be said for many other places too.

Regeneration has consisted of demolition of houses that no one was living in anyway. these people are travelling out to the likes of Dooradoyle from their own neighbourhoods.

I don't want to seem to be being contradictory for the sake of it..... But you do tend to hear very regularly that our Suburban Estates are experiencing new levels of anti-social behaviour in the past 18 Months or so and People are wrongly or rightly blaming Limerick Regeneration. The usual story is that X amount of Families were moved into our road and now we've bags of rubbish in the Flowerbeds, fistfights 3 nights a week and we don't let our Kids out any more......

- So can anyone tell us on here once and for all is this baseless rumours or is there some degree of fact involved?

I have seen first the carnage that is being wreaked around county Limerick, Clare and Tipperary towns by scum from the city being located to these areas. All these relocations coincided with the beginning of the "regeneration".

Now you might say these relocations are a matter for the HSE and not the regeneration committee but it all seems like too much of a coincidence.

You live in Dooradoyle, same as I do, so you will have seen the same stuff going on in certain spots that I have and you will have seen the spots where nowt out of the way goes on. So I reckon you know the answer well enough without needing anyone else to tell you.

Lets just say its a mixture of regeneration and groups of undesirables travelling about that are causing these various anti-social activities.
Regeneration has caused major trouble in which was once a quite housing estate in my home town in the county.
Is there any neighbourhood watch group active in the area?

These people are not just travelling out to Dooradoyle. Some of these people have been relocated there by the HSE.

Lets not beat around the bush and dress it up with terms like anti-social activities. Its actually criminal activities thats going on. Its not acceptable and people need to get rid of this element from the community that are breaking the law.

criminal activity is part of anti social behaviour, it looks to me you are the one beating about the bush correcting people based on whatever knowledge you have. So how are you involved in tackling or ridding these criminal activities ?

christmasinjuly

Sorry I can't excatly m as I don't know how to:P but all I can say is yes those guys that were at me are regeneration heads..... Its sick to be honest I mean I know that these guys have previous bad records on being anti-social. I think the re-housing should be determined by their previous criminal background to be honest its not fair in those being re-housed also who are normal human beings and unfair on the hard-working people who pay mortagages on thier homes they worked hard for only to be harrased:mad:

So this doesnt include you, because I think most of the people in these affected neighbourhoods dont want this element either. Im not here to start a petty argument with you amiable. My waffling is my opinion.

To be fair, most of the residents in areas such as dooradoyle/raheen have no place for the people that were re-located, you just have to look at the graffiti that was found in numerous places around the area and residents went out and cleaned it up/painted over it.

The telephone exchange in raheen had to raise their walls and add railings because the building was getting vandalised on a regular basis. There were never any problems before regen started!

Am..... I may be moving to dooradoyle, could ye let me know where would be the places to avoid??

regeneration has to be the worst idea ever, if you've got a cancer then try dealing with it in the spot where it is, dont spread it around the body

and its not like im a snob either saying who gives a **** about people from those areas, i come from a, let's say, more working class estate in the south innercity...its not the ghetto but its not the garden of eden either

sure in dublin that's how places like tallaght and finglas originated, from re-housing people around and today they'd be considered as some of the "rougher" areas in dublin
same as what happened originally in limerick to give us todays rough estates

you'd think they'd learn but no, sure lets just make limerick one big rough housing estate built around o'connell street

What's the latest on the Rock Star wages of the People behind the Limerick Regeneration Project....... and their carefully recruited Family Members for that matter?

- Seems to me like its has already been an astounding success...... for some People :eek:

It went very very quiet after a few papers broke the story of relatives getting "jobs" within the project coupled with company cars for those relatives etc.

Whilst it is bad being forced to put up with the anti social and criminal behaviour of people dropped into other areas thanks to a combination of regeneration/HSE and other social housing schemes, my heart goes out to the many decent folk for whom the regeneration project looked like being a means to a better standard of life.

I would imagine that the vast majority of people who would have benefited from regeneration are good decent folk whose areas have been dragged down and ruined by scum that have no respect for anything or anyone. The same scum that are getting houses in other areas so that they can breed more and start the process of degeneration in other areas.

Dooradoyle is no ghetto. Sure sometimes there is crime there but I wouldn't say it is any more dangerous than Caherdavin or Corbally/Westbury.

There are no particularly bad spots/no go areas so to speak, but sometimes there are congregations of youths that hang around Raheen Foodstores, however this would only effect you if you were living right next to there. The estates along Mulcair Road are relatively ok.

A lot of the scum bags don't live here but rather come out here and cause trouble.

I suppose where you look at in Dooradoyle to live really depends on whether you have kids or not, and whether you are looking for a house or apartment.

Someone else replied to you saying there are not real black spots, and that pretty much rings true.

There are small pockets of what is a huge area affected by not so nice people moved into houses by one authority or another, but the area as a whole is one of the better housing areas, in my opinon of course, in Limerick city/suburbs.
