Second group guys on bikes flying around Cruises street acting the maggot
Third a group of young travellers around Arthur's quay Penney's roaring spitting being any social

These feral youths are probably looking to attack any leaving certs they see knowing full well that nothing will happen them ,

Limerick City has been that way for a while now. Place is full of scum

I'd actually argue Limerick has never been quieter in this regard. You'd get the odd day were they're out but for the most part it's become very quiet especially say versus 10 years ago even.

Still always annoying to see the loud little bastards out and about, if only we had more Garda foot patrols. You might see one down O'Connell Street on Saturday

That's what I was thinking.... Its a pity because the above is the Limerick I grew up in during the 80's/90's and it was basically Scumbags polluting the City Centre and making it a generally unpleasant, threatening and depressing place to be.

Such a pity if there's going to be a slide backwards into the same thing.

Other Cities have the odd Knacker - Limerick City Centre seems to be like some sort of gathering place for them to mix, mingle and breed with each other undisturbed by anyone else, the Gardai are all out in the leafy suburbs chasing after Moms with speeding tickets in hand.....

Dublin is just as bad. Its not a regional problem its all over the country, a side effect of soft sentencing and non enforcement of the law.

In some ways you can't blame the gardai, because they do all the paperwork, spend a day waiting around in court and the judge hands down yet another suspended sentence, and the scrote is back out on the street by teatime.

When kids aren't scared of the Guards or the law, what disincentives are there from acting the maggot?

Mod Note: This has been reported now and really wonder of the benefit of people slating their own city.
Be adults here please.

What would their future prospective employers think?

As someone who works on cruises Street the town is massively quieter in recent weeks. Garda presence is up from none to at least one stroll through a day not much but hey.

My thing at the moment is the massive increase of addicts on the street due to the pubs being closed and younger ones as well which is even worse.

What do pubs being shut have anything to do with increased addicts on the Streets?

Granadino

Not exclusive to Limk but sad to see it go that way.
Anyone see the video of the guy being thrown off the train in the UK for not wearing a mask, or should I say, his refusal to get off.
Not a hope in hell that would happen in Spain or Italy etc with police. If it was the USA, he'd be tasered at the very least.
Not blaming the police, but there doesn't seem to be the culture of "you don't fu*k with police in Ireland" kind of thing.
Also, there will come a time where civilians will have to do the policing. That's going down the road of vigilantes, which ain't right either.
It's impossible for the Gardai to be everywhere all the time.

Drinkers who would frequent certain bars in town are now drinking on the streets

Time for the Gardai to start tasering

cant say i noticed anything major in town last night /evening except for 3 young twats tearing around on bike's like lunatics

The local judge thinks these feral youths are great fellows and a good laugh .
Hard to know what businesses in Limerick city get for paying very expensive rates apart from paying the wages of some public servants , bordering on zero protection from scum . Older relations tell me they are afraid to go into the city centre anymore.in saying that Cork City is nearly as bad , drug addicts and young travellers rule the city’s these days .

The Gardai aren't funded by commercial rates. There isn't much the council can do to get them to patrol more other than ask nicely.
