    Well if it is that it should be a very easy case to solve.

    So why was he whacked?

    He had a row with a guy the other week that's the only thing people can think of why he was shot. Crazy altogether. Poor chap was just going to work at the time.

    Reports say that that there a number of people there when he was shot at 6:30 am. Something isn't right.

    The bus only goes through the Darndale Rd. No real issues with it.

    Ah I’m just joking. It used to stop going up that road every few weeks when I was a kid because the hassle it got.

    Said in the paper this morning he was shot ten years ago. That’s why everyone thought it was the other fella.

    Slightly off topic, but Darndale was reconfigured a number of years ago to make criminal activity more difficult and improve the safety of residents, but does anyone know what was changed and what it was like before? I've heard some bizarre stories about it involving flipping houses back to front (as in, the back door becomes the front door and so on) so that the fronts of houses face the main road now as opposed to the lanes and cul de sacs, but I honestly don't see how that's supposed to make a huge difference in terms of safety...?

    It used to have squares and laneways now it doesn’t. Back when we were pups our parents were given an option to buy up the social house and feck off by selling it back to the council.A lot of people who wanted to raise their children in an area that respected society did just that. Those that didn’t stayed and they added more like them to the newly sold houses.
    Lots of parents there now that think raising a child means making sure he has a scrambler because all the other kids have scramblers.

    I know some lovely people there who would walk across Dublin to get their kids to football or whatever sports or activities to keep them away from other kids there but at the end of the day like a lot of forgotten areas of Dublin there is a percentage of animals raising animals. Multiplying like gremlins in the Northside swimming pool.

    When it was first built, the layout of the place apparently made it a very easy target for burglaries and so on, I believe because a lot of it was pedestrianised and not accessible by car. It was subsequently redesigned in some way to mitigate that.

    In fairness , darndale never had a great reputation in relation to crime.

    And is my memory correct in that some of its streets swapped the front and back of houses as well? This is the main thing I remember hearing about the redesign, but on its own it doesn't make much sense in terms of improving security. Looking old satellite photos of it on Google Earth compared with today, it looks as if back gardens were also extended so that houses were only publicly accessible from one side rather than both?

    I’ve no idea. I stay to the outside roads of it now when I’ve to go in. I just thought it got more built up.

    Darndale, it sounds like a sleepy subburb.
    Lovely house's tree's lined along the road, people out washing their car's etc
    Is it the opposite ?

    I used to think Cherry Orchard was like a place with draping flowering cherries, all nice detached houses and condos...

    Almost like a country estate kind of setup...

    They've all really nice name's

    For the love of God this thread is literally about murder but the biggest crime here is all those apostrophes just getting sprayed around! A plural doesn't require an apostrophe just because it's a plural. Stop it!

    On your point, the street names in Darndale are even funnier with their loveliness. Names like Snowdrop, Buttercup, Primrose and Marigold. Brilliant.

    I wouldn't have a clue really excuse my ignorance.

    I remember myself and my son a few years ago went into a place to eat off O'Connell Street.

    One mother was saying to her boy, he was around 8 comere ya little bollix ya
    FFS come on ya little shoite ya...

    My son didn't know what to think, I was laughing to myself...
    Two muckers in the big smoke, then we seen two car chase's, people scraping..

    People falling around like Zombies it's worth going up there to see the other side.

    Although Shannon and Ennis has its fair share of junkie's and there's always someone getting arrested outside supermacs on a Saturday night...

    It's happening in every crossroads, village, town and city in Ireland...

    Thanks for the English for dummies lesson.

    My very own magicmarker, but all jokes aside.
    I didn't mean to derail the thread.

    It's serious and sad to hear about killings, I'll not interrupt the flow of the thread.
    Sorry.
