Public Toilets in lockdown

Uncle Charlie

Anyone noticed that in Dublin you can't use the Toilets in most fast food joints and other places without being a a customer.

This seems to have only happened in the last 10 years.

I wonder why businesses have stopped letting the public use their facilities.

Most places have become like that. It’s wicked if your caught short someplace and really need to use the bathroom. Very very few public toilets in towns these days

I went into the Mcdonalds on O'Connell street on way to a movie. Ordered, went to use toilet, had to wait for a guy to open the door. Walked down.

A giant turd on the floor. Walked back up and walked out.

Junkies have been around for decades but its only in recent years that most public toilets are reserved for customers only.

Probably lessens the chance of claims from the slip n'sue brigade.

Cos it's only in recent years that business have copped on and started locking the jacks to stop them going in.

Over €250k has been given to fit a public toilet on North and South of Liffey.....

No sign yet and of course we had all this infrastructure since 1900 or before but they sold them off or just flattened them...

Shocking really is.

I have nowhere to go for up to 7 hours while driving others around Dublin and outskirts....

How is this fair.

This might sound bad but as long as you dress well enough, most places don’t question you if you pretend you belong(I.e hotels etc)

Pinch Flat

Thank the junkies.

I was in Dublin for the afternoon today for a few hours and although you expect to see junkies I saw in 2 separate locations 2 guys in the exact same situation, lying flat out on the pavement, not even in a doorway, out on the pavement, looking as if they are asleep or even dead. In the middle of the afternoon with the sun shining with perhaps hundreds of ppl seeing them and passing by them per hour. One of them didn't even have anything to rest his head on, the other had a newspaper. Both around the Jervis St area.

I feel bad for just passing them by but obviously they were junkies and what can you do? The situation just seems to be getting worse. I mean my God even if they are beyond help you'd think even for the sake of the optics of it you'd think there would be some system of removing them when they are in such a state which is basically a body on the ground. Quite shocked by it actually and I mean that.

I just give a quick nod when I walk in to ask if I can use the toilet (if they have a customer only sign) and I haven't been told no yet. I don't think it's really enforced. I've had peeps give me the toliet codes an all. Oh except Starbucks, you need your receipt.

What was wrong with the old underground toilets we had on O'Connell street and College Green?

JohnnyFlash

Brown Thomas if in the South inner city. Top floor. Lovely shïtters.

Arnotts - North inner city. Basic, if well-appointed facilities.

You can always go for a McShít if it’s an emergency.

Yeah what could possibly have gone wrong with an unattended publicly accessible underground shelter, complete with stalls for privacy, on O Connell Street?

Great for a quick knee trembler was what I heard.

College green were filled in for Luas.

They were all shut as it's cheaper to provide nothing.

We pay huge taxes, property tax and businesses pay huge rates but basically what do we get for it.... Nothing.

Was in the supermacs in that obama plaza in moneygall n there was a lad cleaning the toilets. I commented on how clean they were n he told me hes there just to stop claims really. No lad pouring water n his mate slipping two minutes later. Crazy extra costs on business n wonder by burger meal cost the guts of a tenner!

Seen a bus driver do it one day in Ballyfermot the old 78a route pulled over and went in the 79er. You wouldn't get away with that these days.

Thank the dopes in DCC for pulling the injecting clinics last minute. Would have cleared the streets a little of herdedin users and made the possibility of having useable public toilet facilities like a grown up city more possible.
