What would you say is the biggest dump of a town in Ireland?

somegirl2009

The town of Inbeforethelock.

No matter what anyone says, you'll never live in worse dumps than I have.

After you OP, it's rude not to give your own opinion before asking us lot.

cocoshovel

There was a thread over in the Limerick forum a few years back about a guy who went in there and took loads of photo's. Many showed how bad the place actually was. Alot worse than that picture linked above looks like.

It's pretty bad alright, looks terrible. Something should of been done about that along time ago. Have they started knocking them down yet?

How is it so bad in that part of Limerick?
Is it the same families causing trouble or just no good will in the community?
U think the government could at lease get some sort of a grip with the problem's!

I don't know! Apparently deprivation and easy access to more money you'll ever make in any job is enough to drive some into dealing/taking drugs :eek:

Shryke

It's awful that money would be spent on something as frivolous and unemotive as the spire rather than on infrastructure and renovations for communities. That last picture is fairly soar to see.

Oh not blaming the whole community sure I lived in a bad part of Dublin when I was younger and there is many nice people and families who cause no problems and work hard.
I just find it hard to believe that a few families can cause so much hardship and money and resource's(Garda,County Council etc).

The Government should hang there heads in shame especially the last crowd while money wasn't a problem.

JupiterKid

Invariably posters will put their home town or place they had a bad experience in (which is often one and the same) but from travelling all around Ireland for many years I wound give that dubious accolade to:











Tipperary town. Complete and utter dive.

Capt'n Midnight

Banagher

charlemont

Got to agree with JK, Tipperary Town.

Its not you're average petty criminals they're dealing with though, some of these people are serious members of organised crime. Limerick is a sad case buts its not simple to tackle the problem, these thugs have a vice like grip on their communities and are ensuring positive change can't be implemented. I'm not saying the Gardai couldn't do more, but in these times of drastic cutbacks it makes their job a whole lot harder.

Kildare town is a fair hole alright

Sounds ok to me then !

jayteecork

Portlaoise, Mallow, Buttevant, Carrigtwohill, Tralee, Tipp Town.

PhlegmyMoses

Arklow is pretty bad. Filthy, dilapidated and full of young lads in done up cars with nothing better to do. The traffic in there can be grim as well.

I'd be more inclined to say Wexford tbh :rolleyes::rolleyes:

P_1

Balbriggan, sadly FF's possibly shady decision to locate the asylum seekers 'holding camp' in Mosney has come to roost.

I'm sure everyone has now heard the 'charming' nickname that has been given to the town now.

Town center dying slowly, NE legoland just outside town and a population full of narrowminded bigots.

gobnaitolunacy

Mallow, Rathkeale, Tralee for obvious reasons.

Dishonourable mention: Kanturk.

GTDolanator

why has nobody mentioned youghal?the place is the most depressing place in the country you'd think they give it a lick of paint.feckin gombeens

I live in Mullingar, don't think it's that bad.

Longford...now that's another story.

FloatingVoter

Rathkeale has already been mentioned so I'll raise the stakes and nominate its neighbour Newcastle West, a violent inbred little growth of a village.

CastlebarMan

Westport of course, followed by Ballina, Swinford, Ballinrobe, anywhere in Mayo except Castlebar.

Kolido

Muff is a dirty hole of a place.

touts

Nenagh. So bad they had to upgrade the bypass so people could avoid it faster.

_feedback_

"This place is an awful kip".

That thought enters my head every time I drive through Mountmellick.

It's not that bad, so what the child has red hair there are worse things going on than that in fairness.

Corvo

In no particular order -

New Ross, Co. Wexford
Tralee, Co. Kerry
Castleisland, Co Kerry
Tipperary Town

I've been to kippier* places than Dundalk, I can list a few. Mullingar, Limerick, Dublin, and Drogheda just down the road is a mighty shithole too. Dundalk does have like Muirhevnamor, yes, but that's out of the way and thankfully most of them stay away from the town.
