    Technically wouldn't they have to go to the Post office for that

    O'Malley Park in Limerick was once a no post and no bus zone.

    No surprises really, anyone familiar with that area knows its a kip. even Tallaght people avoid it.

    Welcome to multicultural tallaght ,

    One part traveler gang

    One part African gang

    One part Roma gang

    One part usual gang spawn of lone parents

    And blame the government for not giving them enough stuff for free stuff ,

    I suspect that this is one of the areas sdcc are struggling to get tenants pay their heavily subsidised rents


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,888 ✭✭✭Atoms for Peace


    To think having a postal service is considered an indicator of a developed civillization.

    Tallaght has had no go areas for buses for decades after certain hours of the night - paritucularily in the winter - and it had SFA to do with Africans, travellers and roma.

    Well I've personal first hand experience of Macullium and yes it does have something to do with all of the above ,

    And when people in the estate complain they are labelled racist ,

    Well I've personal experience of Tallaght over three decades and it was that way long before there was an african roma or traveller contingent involved. But sure whats the fun in blaming scum for acting like scum when you can get a good aul minority bashing rant going.

    I grew up in a 'no go' area. It's a field now. And my primary school is a Museum.

    PBP/AAA will be out to tell us how the residents are the victim. They always do it when Dublin Bus cut services because of scummy kids. You'd think with their whole Socialism thing that they would side with the Workers

    Likely they're siding with the families left without transport. If you can link to a 'PBP say leave the scumbags alone ' article I'll read it.

    When they cut the 19a in Inchicore it was the pensioners up in arms, (if you gave them a minute). One estate has no bus service at all, but pretty sure that was a flip flop on cost savings or something.

    Sorry your actually wrong ,this is whats going on in this particular estate ,it's divided up by gangs made up of the above ,for the most part they are not minorities in the estate either ,
    But let's not bandy around the racism card just yet

    Your right on both counts

    But surely its a bit disingenuous to critise PBP/AAA/any politian as they are just representing their constituents?

    So either Tallaght has turned the Africans and Romas into scum, or they were scum anyway. Supprise supprise, there's scum in every culture.

    Ill leave traveller's out of that, can blame Tallaght on that lot.

    "Crowe said he has spoken to An Post and gardaí about this development and has called for a meeting with South Dublin County Council, the Gardaí, State Agencies, elected representatives and An Post to find a solution to the problem."

    How about speaking to your scumbag constituents that are causing it?

    If only we had some kind of effective law and order types. I suppose knocking on doors randomly and asking people if their kids are scumbags is another way.

    He would be laughed at ,

    No political parties have any pull in the area , literally on the first weekend the estate actually opened the riot squad had to to deployed to separate rival families from completely destroying the estate before the majority of people had received their keys from the county council


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,590 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    No bills,summonses or junk mail.

    Of course they are. How dare An Post stop delivering to a multicultural and diverse estate in Tallaght.

    Are you telling me the local scummer is going to be out of bed at that hour?

    That estate is opened over ten years ago. And was opened in sections with keys handed over per completion. There was no big opening point. What are you on about.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,423 ✭✭✭✭josip


    Not too rough for Google :)


    Are these barriers council installed ?

    The very first weekend people had moved in as in the original families given housing in the estate ,I never said they had a big opening ( where did I say that)
    The riot squad had to be deployed to stop families from wrecking the place which involved several families who where at war with each other ,

    Families actually had to attend group meeting before anyone moved in and they were all told they had a zero tolerance to antisocial behaviour ,no mobile homes or caravans were allowed in the estate ,no selling of cars (as in business) in the estate ,

    guess what happened all of the above and zero consequences I know of another situation in the estate where a young teen was and is still living in a multiple room property because his parents who were actually given the house moved to another country

    no, lifelong dolers get the money delivered direct to their door, along with their free state prams and Korans. I read that nowhere.

    The poor generally.

    Nothing wrong with being poor. I grew up poor.
    The problem is being poor with no ambition.
    If you have ambition but no opportunity then that's a failing of the state.
    If you have opportunity but no ambition and yet have a comfy (yet poor) life that's also a failing of the state.

    It wasn't only the pensioners up in arms! They aren't the only people who need buses! Non-drivers like myself need them. And there were no FG/FF representatives at any meetings about it either if memory serves me right! Only PBP!

    Doesn't surprise me that the usual culprits on here are making light of the ethnicity of those causing strife.

    Of course, those same culprits wouldn't know a bit of work if it hit them straight in the face. Blaming society and government for the criminality of these groups is getting boring at this stage. Close to 60% of Africans who hit the lottery and got citizenship/asylum in Ireland do not work in this country. I would have to imagine that the percentage is a great deal higher for Travelers and even greater still for Roma gypsies.

    Traditional society, as we once knew it in Ireland, is undergoing complete transformation in order to appease the needs of these havoc-causing ethnic groups. Is it worth it? For the sake of diversity?
    I certainly don't think so.

    Thats a civilised part of Tallaght, along with Kingswood, Kilnamanagh, most of Old Bawn, its the Western bit beyond Jobstown which has anti social problems.

    I didn't know it myself (by name anyway) popped it into Google map , looked at street view, and immediately recognised where they were referring to.

    Indeed. Belfard in particular is a lovely spot and is almost hampered by the fact that the Tallaght area is so vast so that it can get lumped in with some real dodgy areas.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,553 ✭✭✭Cork Trucker


    Tallaght has it all going for itself,

    Margaret Cash wants her '4eva home' there

    Lidl is raided

    An Post stop doing postal deliveries in a certain estate

    Buses are stopped at night someone said?

    And i thought Cork had anti social behaviour problems.
