    Of course this isn't New York, because this is what's happening in NY at the moment, regularly.

    Well, at least it's good to see them planning, using forward thinking and most importantly working as a team.

    That looks like vandalism and the perpertrators should be made clean it off with their tongues.

    i'm a bit bemused at the focus on the graffiti aspect. that was quite minor compared to the violence (threatened or real).

    From attacking DARTs to attacking the signals.

    Likely travellers robbing cable. Their just being called 'vandals' to be politically correct.

    If you think Clongriffin is bad clearly you live a very sheltered life - there are many far worse areas of Dublin!

    And?

    I always find it illogical when people use this type of argument in a debate. What exactly is the point you're trying to make?

    Comparing downwards always makes the current entity look great. This is a false victory.

    Iceland doesn't have a rail system. Should we stop developing our own rail system because ours is so much better than theirs?

    Ireland is 56 on the Crime Index by Country, Venezuela is 1st. Should we halt all Gardai stations because our crime rate is so much better than theirs?

    Of course not.

    We should be aiming towards Switzerland's rail system.
    We should be aiming towards Japan's crime index.

    Compare upwards, not downwards.

    I think that the OP was making the valid point that Clongriffin is not an underclass kip like another OP said. I don't see what Japan's crime rate or Switzerland's rail system has got to do with anything.

    It is not a valid point.

    Clongriffin must look to be better than what it is now. Less vandalism, less litter, less anti-social behaviour etc.. etc..

    Clongriffin must not say: It's worse over there so we're good enough.

    I have to admit that I was in Clongriffin for the first time in about 18 months yesterday and the station looks far worse and in much poorer condition than it was with all the smashed glass and replacement panels and run down enterance.

    Why the f**k is this video still up on YouTube?
    Why haven't Berlin Transport whoever requested YouTube to take it down?
    And if YouTube continue to provide a platform for videos depicting illegal activities.
    These c**nts get their kicks from views.
    (Excuse the French, I get annoyed easily by graffiti and vandalism.)

    It's not much of a suprise to be honest. The place is the way it is because of lack of Gardai around, its isolated and there's no staff in the station. The Junction is hardly any better.

    Only way this will ever change is more police presence and a more severe clamping down on the scrote's that plague the area with their BS.

    But it must have got worse in the last 18 months. One of my friends used to live there until 18 months ago and she never had a bother at all living there two years!

    Clongriffin is my local station (along with Bayside). It’s been the way it is for a long time, at least the 18 months you say but I feel like it might be longer, I can’t quite remember. The station itself is a dump, as is the stairs up to it from the Baldoyle side. The panels that make up the stairs are often caved in and in need of replacement, it often feels quite dodgy walking on them.

    I agree the Baldoyle side has always been a magnet. I remember the glass all being see through and nothing broken last time I went through the main enterance. Now it's got smashes everywhere and stuff boarded up and pictures covering it up. Even the front looks a mess now.

    The station in Clongriffin has been like that for a little longer than a year now, might indeed be 18 months or whereabouts.
    I still live there and in general terms I haven't really noticed an increase in troublesome behaviour in the area; it's not like you hear idiots screaming, partying and generally being disruptive in the middle of week nights (like I did experience in parts of Cork and other areas of Dublin).

    Most of the antisocial behaviour is confined to the more secluded areas (the park and indeed the "Baldoyle-side" of the station) and, from what I can see, performed by teens sometimes as young as 12-13 years old. During the summer months I've also ran into small groups of "study holiday kids" (mostly Italian or Spanish) squatting in the station and drinking alcohol; In all fairness they seemed otherwise harmless and didn't strike me as they were going to smash the place to bits - just being teenage-stupid and wasting their parents money away.

    You are correct. I've detailed it out some over here. https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=106991413
