No info on any shooting, I'd expect to have heard something by now.

Yeah so far no news on it. Hearing sirens every few mins though. Helicopter is gone. I was just told by two separate people hour or so ago that someone else got shot.
That’s the problem with hear say.
So just wait and see if anything shows up on the news. Place is gone crazy

Wasn't dublin always a bit like this? Back in the early to mid 1900's slums were huge.
Then right up through the 60', 70, 80, 90's you had more slums, heroin epidemic.

In the 2000's during the boom things were ****ing wild all together.


But did we have multiple people being shot/killed every week back then?
or with regular news and social media updates are we just hearing about it more?

Shootings only really started in the 90s but there was always street gangs and crime in Dublin even before the drugs, there is some good stuff online about the Dublin street gangs of the last 100 or so years.

Dublin did have huge slums some of the worst in Europre late 1800s early 1900s which in turn led to the massive council estates we have today .

Ive often wondered why Dublins where so bad compared to others in Europe and I reckon it started after the famine when tens of thousands of people would of flocked to the cities for food and shelter after been thrown off the land. Its actually incredible to think the famine has left a mark on this country to this very day.

There was certainly a lot of shootings in Dublin around Easter 1916 and for the years that followed it.....

Another shooting in Coolock few mins ago. Helicopter circling the area not far from my site I work on.

Any update on this?

Just drove through Kilmore, Garda car on Kilbarron Avenue although I’d say that’s normal enough procedure given the last few days. No raids taking place or houses being petrol bombed...all very unwarzone like to be honest.

Was there a single event that got you to stop? Do you miss the money? Few people I know in the building trade say that the average young lads cant be bothered because they're making more dealing a little than they ever could working a normal job.

Just walked out of the gym in Finglas and the RTE crime correspondent I forget his name is outside trying to look inconspicuous and not doing a good job of it. Wonder what has him around.

Anyone follow the Hill 16 Army page on Facebook. On the 28th May they posted a picture of Fenton McCaffrey and Kilkenny playing for a North Dublin side u12 or that. There was an interesting name at no.13 on that same team when you see line outs in the comments

He'd be of no use now. The time he was around people feared the gardai. He'd get laughed at now or probably killed.

Apparently he was a good soccer player too , supposedly having a trial with Liverpool. Would fit in perfectly with that shower of Scouse thieves.

The woman was released from the house. She had a look around and quickly ran back in.
