Dublin is an unadulterated kip

Liamario

North side of the Liffey is most definitely a kip to be fair. Saying that it's a kip due to the amount of sub standard humans walking around.

Why do culchies just hang around Middle Abbey St and complain about Junkies?

The nicer parts of the city are south of the river - College Green, Dame St, Nassau St, Dawson St, Stephens Green, Baggot St, Merrion Sq, Fitzwilliam Sq, Suffolk/Wicklow/South William, Georges St up to Wexford St and the Villages just outside the Canal - Rathmines, Ranelagh & Ballsbridge. This is a large region not populated by crappy retail, in fact the shops are too high-end in most of it, for some ethnic streetfood goodness walk the 100 metres over to Capel St.

Its not 1970 anymore lads, cities change. The north centre of the city is best avoided until the authorities finally decide to sort it out. Which wont be today or tomorrow.

It's just funny how Dublin residents live in a bubble thinking their city is above and beyond everything else in Ireland.

Do Dublin people really believe their city is pretty much the same as every capital city.

No they certainly do not all think that, anyone who think they do is an ignorant provocative cunt. Mind numbing shite as per usual.

The one half decent conference that they were getting- the Web Summit-they couldn't even hang on to. I mean who wants to be fleeced for tripping over junkies and lousy broadband?

I found Cork way, way worse for junkies than Dublin when I lived there.

Sir, I fear you may have simply misunderstood the local accent, which can be extremely misleading for the unwary.

Another problem with Dublin is that you can't walk from one end to the other without people coming up and asking for money.

That must be very intimidating for tourists.

Chuggers are everywhere, not just Dublin.

I'm not talking Chuggers. Its the "here bud have you got a couple of euro" type of people.

As a capital city which has got the highest income in the state by some distance Dublin can only be considered a hole. Imagine Finland or Norway having such a shabby gateway to the world.

A friend of mine had a syringe pulled on him in Dublin city centre I hardly call that friendly.

Well I did witness one being ever so helpful to inform a group of tourists in Tallaght, that the ticket machine at the Luas stop wasn't working, and politely asked if he could have the money instead.

Ah here's the aul "we're not as bad as other places" spiel that is brought out time and time again, as if that makes it better.

WTF? He's right, the people bitching about Dublin probably live somewhere no better and likely worse. I find people bitching about the capital city of their country so embarrassingly parochial. I thought the same when I lived in the UK and people would be bad-mouthing London all the time. And I'm not from Dublin, I'm from the rural west of Ireland.

Dublin is the liveliest place to live in the country.

I would call Dublin a lot of things, but one word I'd never use is "unadulterated"...

Just seen something on an Irish tadio stations FB page from today of a young child getting stuck by a discarded needle on a Dublin bus...
Not the first time this has happened if memory serves me right.
Grand place alright...

I'm the first to defend Dublin but this CAN happen. Happened to me once, on Talbot Street at 6.30am-ish. Was on my way to work and stupidly took the shorter route up Talbot Street.

That said, I've been 'accosted' more times in Limerick in a year of living there, than I have been in 15 years in Dublin.

To be honest if I was a bus driver I might think twice before challenging a bunch of feral teens in Ballyfermot (for example) who got on the bus because an old person happened to be at the stop too.

A bit invidious to ask one bus driver to be a tough guy.

I haven't been in the Pale since 07, it is full of pretentious clowns and culchies acting the maggot.

So, like most of the people posting here, you haven't a notion what it's like.

Erm, You realize that Clonee is in County Meath and Bray is in Wicklow right?

The reason why people are always trying to lump rougher areas of surrounding counties in with Dublin, and complaining about it being such a kip, but never with the likes of say, Westmeath: bitterness.

And it's glorious. Utterly, utterly glorious!
