Two young idiots just attacked a auld fella outside Debenhams on Henry Street. Think (hope) the Gardai got them. Scumbags

Once seen a Jack Russell cycling with a homeless man on his shoulder.

A curious badger looked out from an apartment balcony, while eating a twix.

Unfortunately, the poor dogs are used now to attract your attention, and get ye parting with your cash.

ChikiChiki

A couple of harmless zombie like folk outside Londis on the corner of Westmoreland Street harassing folk for change. With every rejection they quietly shuffle onto the next target. Extraordinary creatures altogether.

A guy and girl in a phone box near Stephen's Green/Leeson street - girl had her trousers down around her knees and the guy was injecting her in the crotch.

Injecting her with what exactly?

It symbolizes needles, Dublin druggie capital of Europe, it's a homing beacon for junkies.

Litter. So much litter.

ahlookit

A road that hasn't been dug up for the luas.

A street free from litter or puke is a very strange sight indeed

Today? Did see someone lying outside that shop with a tissue over his cheek and two gardai standing beside him but they weren't saying anything to him.

I like haggling with the locals when buying tobacco from them on moore st. Today's brand was turner and 40g for €11, said it would be up to €12 once deco is back.

It was 50g for a tenner but it has being about 6 months since I bought any.

Reminds me of something I read on the news last year about some poor lad getting jumped on by two guys in the toilet of McDonalds in O'Connell's Street. Not saying it was the same lads, but you're not safe anywhere nowadays. I've walked that area in the past as well.

MeatTwoVeg

Once saw a junkie get hit by the car in front of me as I drove along the South Quays on the way home from work.

Stepped right out into the road and was tossed about 6feet into the air. She landed on the footpath with a sickening thump, that I more felt than heard, if you know what I mean. Was pretty sure she was stone dead.

2 minutes later she was up and had wandered off across one of the Liffey bridges before the ambulance, that my GF called, had arrived.

Funnily enough, the ambulance ended up bringing the driver of the car away. She was totally traumatized by the whole incident. Shaking and crying uncontrollably.

Weirdest thing.

Dublin eh?

Yawn, Dublin city centre is a kip overrun with junky zombies. Yada Yada Yada.

You're right, but the city has become an absolute disgrace, back in 2005 it was fúcking clean, yeah a few muppets on the ha'panny bridge, but that was it! It's now 2016 and it's turning into NY in the 80's, Fúcking shíthole.

You know a lot of American websites advise people to travel to the west because Dublin is a kip?

Dublin is not a kip, the very city centre is a kip alright, no question.
Something really needs to be done to get the junkies off the streets.
The government and the Gardai need to get their fingers out and tackle this problem once and for all.

DEFTLEFTHAND

Is the homeless man with the rabbit still around? I didn't witness it but I remember being in the city the day a group of utter scum threw his rabbit into the Liffey and he dived in to rescue it.

I used to notice him still on the streets with the rabbit in the months afterwards. Always made sure to give them change.

Not a chance that's going to happen, just pay your bank debt and whistle Dixie in the other direction.

Its been like that for years now. Absolutely no political will to solve the issue. Removing methadone clinics from the city centre would be a start.

There was a hipster hairdresser cutting a homeless lad hair outside of McDonalds on O'Connell Street today too, good few people taking photos so will probably appear somewhere.

It was nice to see

sullivlo

Saw some lad with what transpired to be a heavy parcel cable tied to a skateboard to transport it along the street with minimal effort. Ingenious.

Kadser

A fella getting into the passenger side of a car in O'Connell St. He was holding a bowel of breakfast cereal.

MRnotlob606

You people think Dublin is getting bad with drugs? take a look at Waterford, A small city with 50,000 people and you can still see these zombies walking around asking for change, begging for money. I think we have a huge problem in this country.

I once saw a rangers jersey!
I actually shook the fellas hand, brave man.

Don't Chute!

Yes you are safe, in many, many parts of Dublin.

In 2005 Dublin was full of "junkies" as well.

Not sure it was as bad as it is now but the place was teeming with them.

Spanish Eyes

Free haircuts on a high stool, and a sleeping bag/food bag after. That was at night and outside the GPO in full view of everyone. Natives and tourists alike.

Sorry, not a good look for anyone on the main street of the Capital.

The help could be given elsewhere really. Just a street away maybe. But NO, it has to be on the main street in full view of everyone.

The recipients are just actors in a play here for the directors. Sorry.

Blonde/white hair, massive drawn on eyebrows? If it's her, she's mentally ill, poor thing.
