    Have cousins from Limerick

    Was down last weekend for 1st time and few of their mates were over. Got chatting about Ireland in general and they then start telling me about how bad it must be to live in Dundalk because of the rough housing estates, all them naming Coxes Demesne and Muirhevnamor saying how bad they heard they were and these would be one roughest estates in the coutry

    Well if them 2 are considered the worst by outsiders, the countries not that bad after all. Spent my youth in Coxes and currently in Muirhevnamor 2 years and never had any bother from anyone ever!

    This thread will go as so.

    Lads trying to outdo each other on who's estate is shiittier.

    Or high horsers, generalising an entire estate based on the area, or one or two bad eggs based in an estate.

    (this won't end well basically)

    The worst estate is definitely going to be in a high-income, low-crime area. To say otherwise would be unforgivable.

    That place where they torched the horse the other day sounds like a lovely place...

    What's the point?

    Only serves to slag off places which people have to live. Can't go anywhere good.
