Moving to cabra

Corkviadublin

Hi there
I am thinking of buying a house on either
Killala Road or
Drumcliffe Road
Can anyone from Cabra tell me if these are safe areas to move to
I saw some horses on the green near Killala once. But later in the day they were gone.
I know someone was once shot in the area in 2016 but with the feud it seems that there’s no where in the city that hasn’t been touched by it so I don’t think it’s a reflection on the area?

Any advice welcome.

Cabra is fine for the most part, few bad eggs etc etc.. As for someone getting shot? Statistically, Clontarf has had more fatal shootings than Cabra in the last decade. Make of that what you will.

Thanks a mill. You’re right. I’m just nervous.
I’m sure they’re lovely people.

Carnlough is perfectly fine not familiar with Killala.

That’s probably a good sign maybe ?

Carnlough area is fine.

North of Fassaugh ave is quieter than south of it.

Obviously somebody had a bad experience in cabra. The oasis doesn't keep the lights on from passing trade,so that reference is totally irrelevant. Cabra is a very desirable place to live for anybody working in the city centre. Don't scare the op off. The link alone suggests you've never set foot there in your life. Apologies if the above sounds in some way confrontational, but I'm just saying how it is.
Edit. Your obviously familiar with the area, so wipe the part where I said you never set foot in the place. Apologies jeff.

Yeah,horses live at the back of the shops/pub.
I think the horse won a race that day and after being out the back was brought throught the pub.

I'd say over all go for it to the OP.

The horse definitely won that day, the best sessions are when someone takes you to the pub unexpectedly. The chipper next door is one of the best, if not the best on the good side of the Liffey!
