New to Dublin

cordy1969

Having arrived 3 weeks ago and staying in the heart of Dublin.
Wanted to know if this is normal of Dublin City centre.

Having just witnessed the 5th mugging in 7 days outside my complex this seems alarming. Wondering if maybe I should reconsider where I'm staying or is it the same all over the city. Im staying in whats supposed to be a well to do area without stating where.

These have occurred during the day and evening so its not just one time frame.

I've lived in Dublin for 41 years and have never witnessed a mugging.

You've seen 5 in a week in the same place in a well off area.

Something doesn't quite add up here,

Balls. Spent 26 years in Dublin. 11 years in westmeath. In the 26 years in Dublin I seen 1 pick pocket situation.

I thought I was asking a sensible question. I didn't come on here to belittled or accused of being a troll or rereging what ever the **** that is.

If my post/thread offends the snowflakes then remove it.

5? must've been a slow week.


I used to witness an awful lot of muggings. Mainly because I was actually quite efficient at committing them




The average punter in Dublin gets mugged on average 10 times a week....anytime ya order a pint what with the feckin' prices

Don't you be watching my show OP, fecking voyeurs I tells ya

cordy1969

Yes its a real question, and yes the Garda have been called each time. The 2nd time the young lady was taken away in an ambulance. Don't honestly know why I'm being called a liar?

And now as a mod has commented, please just delete the thread then if thats what people think.

That's the Artful Dodger, don't mind him, he just got to pick a pocket or two.

1/10 trolling OP

As much as parts of the City Centre are a kip, but even I call Bullsh!t.

Now if you were camped out in the middle of Bus Aras, or Connolly I might have belived you.

Are you sure you're not confusing muggings with drug deals?

Was this young lady the Guard you reported the crime to? She probably collapsed in shock from all the muggings you've been ringing her about

Being serious, I lived in Dublin for many years and actually don't think I ever saw a mugging take place in all that time.

Five in a week seems bonkers.

Unless you assume the op is the mugger! Then it adds up perfectly!

Depends where you live and how aware of your environment you are.

I live in Portmarnock, I've hardly heard a bad word uttered in over twenty years out here.

I worked doorwork security in Templebar, and finally on Aston Quay where I was on the door for 7 years and would witness a number of muggings on almost every shift.

A lot of people think a mugging is someone being held up with a knife and maybe getting beat up.. But mostly its phone snatches by little kunts on bicycles who cycle past the unwitting and grab the phone on their second pass.

A lot of times its a swift punch in the face and the phone is gone.

So yea, if someone was living in certain parts of Dublin and told me they witnessed this daily I'd believe them without a second thought.

If someone was out my way and said they witnessed a mugging any time of the day or night I'd be shocked, and I'd say the majority of people live in pretty safe area's.

Lived in Dublin for 7 years and still work and live up there from time to time and not seen mugging. I lived in near Arbour Hill which would not be very rough but ain't considered the nicest place
