    PBP/AAA will be out to tell us how the residents are the victim.

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

    Something's not right here.

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

    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

    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.

    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

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

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

    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

    But think of the movie potential

    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.

    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.

    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.

    As a person from tallaght (watch yer coats ladies and gentlemen) I dont know where this area is.

    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.

    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.

    This basically says it all. Spitting distance from that Lidl.


    Most people don't **** where they eat, but nothings below these boyos.

    That makes it worse.

    I was in Tallaght once in 2000, the first thing i was told was to watch my pockets, was in the local amusement arcade, is that still there?

    Atari expo (the square) or the leisure plex .

    Atari is more a casino just slot machines. With next to no amusements now.

    Why don't the guards take one of these postal vans, go under cover driving the thing, wait for something to happen, f*ck them into the back of the van when it goes, and special delivery them to the nearest courthouse.

    Cos they’ll be back on the streets in no time at all and will probably give the post office workers an even harder time for setting the guards on them.

    They do controlled deliveries for drugs and contraband alright.
