A woman was stabbed in the neck near IFSC as she walked home from work.

If we have anti-terrorist police and police operations everywhere targeting terrorist attacks, why don't we have anti-welfare class police to protect the rest of us from this group of people? And everything that comes from that, informants, surveillance etc so we can put these people behind bars where they belong. IFSC should have a security camera on every corner but it doesn't.

Very bad, it says stabbed in the neck in a serious condition. Is this freak still at large?

So, nobody cares that a woman was attacked, it's about the identity politics of who did it that mattered?

The usual suspects won't be interested in this one. No one in here demanding the police release a suspect description. No one discussion the IQ of various races. No one excoriating the media for not having it as the first news item today.

Montage of Feck

But seriously, just look at how knife crime is out of control in London. We could have learned from the UK but we didn't and now it's just a matter of time before we have similar issues.

The first thing I thought was, this is horrific, hope she is ok,
not who she is, I am wondering what kind of subhuman scum would do this, my default was it was just some scummy scumbag, but I dont know.
I still think it matters who and what their background is,
thought go out to the woman, regardless of who and what her background is, horrific thing to happen.

punisher5112

I do hope she pulls through.

I'm not surprised with the dregs of society in the city, Dublin is a cess pool.

Should be regular patrols on foot or better bike.

Going by fast in a car isn't much use if you see one at all.

Again.

We can't do anything about native born junkbags. They were born here, to family residing here since God was a boy.

There is a different expectation of behavior when a 16 year old blud is running around Blanch committing robberies then going home to his 350K semi that the state provides his unemployable mother for 30 quid a week.

Hope the scum are caught. Same area that deliveroo guy got killed by the teenager in a car.

WrenBoy

Maybe someone will organise a vigil for him, seems to be the thing to do for people attacking others with knives these days.

biko

I hope she pulls through and has no lasting physical issues (the psychological scars will last for years).

Garda should have stop-and-frisk powers. I assume now this robber was a known criminal.

Lawless Ireland !! When they’re caught it will be a slap on the wrist and then a news article telling us how well they’re engaging with the probation service. Victims life will probably be ruined but who cares right ?. Round and round we go on this lovely little Island !

17 of the first 29 posts in this thread have been deleted for being completely off topic so honestly I am dubious about reopening the thread at all considering it was off to a bad start in post #1.

A woman was stabbed in the neck and the thread was derailed immediately by ridiculous terrorism and race whataboutery which was not mentioned anywhere in the article and is irrelevant to the discussion. Any more of this will mean cards and bans.

Discuss the issue as it has been reported on or don't bother posting.

This has been reported on by several news outlets, with the independent giving the most detail imo

Absolute dive of an area. The IFSC is a facade for that sits amongst some very real social problems.

Plenty of scrotes about. This is not one bit surprising.

Are the problems in the IFSC (I know there are apartments there) or what's around it?

Wasnt there a video of a group of scrotes fighting in the street in that area recently where one lad gets a hatchet stuck in his skull?

Imagine paying a quarter of your income to rent in Dublin?

Glad I live in the countryside.

Someone might have reasons, limited options, the problem on the other hand is lawlessness everywhere in this country,

I dont think just prison is the solution, needs to be prison and rehab,
At some point, dangerous people need to be locked up, either rehabilitate, reform or remain locked up for the duration of sentence.


So, 10-22-100, or however many multiple convictions, attendances at court, concurrent sentencing (why?), sentences reduced by being set from the time of arrest or something? basically it appears if it takes 2 years to bring a case and a person gets 2 years, that appears to be it or very similar, early releases,
I'd say we need 2 new prisons in the country, build and run them, transfer all prisoners there from Mountjoy, overhaul that and just keep locking scum up for crimes instead of reduced sentences and early release, keep them off the streets/away from society where they can commit crimes against law abiding people.

Last time I walked down that way I seen two junkies being held down by two security guards after attempting to rob the Spar.

I thought the area has been in the process of being "gentrified" and redeveloped for years?

Or have they just not gotten to the real problem spots yet.

FWIW I see plenty of stories from years a go about how the area use to be far worse than it is now. How the guards would never go in there etc...

whippet

vicious assaults on the streets of dublin have been going on since the days of the Vikings - and the area around the IFSC has been a problem area since the days of Monto.

I went to school not far from there in the late 80s / early 90s and even then you wouldn't walk those streets on your own

Is there a capital city in the western world where random violence isn't a problem ? to be clear - the knife crime problem in dublin isn't anywhere near levels of that in London.

This was it in 1991? Jaysus.

Senior sources say that the thug demanded money from the woman who is an office cleaner and originally from Asia.

However he then stabbed her in the neck without warning in an incident that caused huge blood loss.

The male then cycled from the scene towards the Quays without obtaining any money from his victim.

Despite the horrific nature of her injuries, the woman remained conscious and was able to call emergency services from her mobile phone.

Gardai and ambulance personnel were quickly on the scene and she was rushed to the Mater Hospital where she underwent life saving surgery late last night.

This ****er should be charged with attempted murder and suspected hate crime..

Kermit.de.frog

If he cycled towards the quays then plenty of cameras must have picked him up.

It is massively improving overall and that will continue but there is constantly an issue with Sheriff Street Lower. I almost guarantee you if you are a relatively well dressed person (office worker) you will get verbal abuse from local youths who gather in groups. That's why the vast majority of people avoid this street and the gangs have the street for themselves mostly.

It's 2020 and we still can't manage to take fines at source out of social welfare payments. Instead back to court, two guards to bring them up to the joy and a few hours later they're on the bus home!

In the IFSC and surrounding North Inner City area. Apartments shoehorned in amongst a population who are at odds with the professional type. Also a huge problem with heroin addiction and substance abuse in the North Inner City.

Quite a few of the apartments by the council have been acquired and are now social housing.
There are some good people in the area, but quite a few generational nefarious characters.

A lot of the young lads are roaming around in packs on bicycles in Canada Goose jackets up to no good. They have been taken in by the optics of the crime pays lifestyle.

That is attempted murder.

For a number of years 'problem' families from elsewhere in the city were dumped there.

I taught kids from there for years. Sadly (for the area), many who wanted to make something of themselves, or improve their lot, moved out as soon as they could, leaving the issues to just intensify.

Cause of all of this?

Enabling.

The IFSC is a privately controlled area, there are cameras all over it. Guards are always off Sheriff st after the guy was shot outside the centra. They probably already arrested him.

im sure youre not saying,just makes it sound like the onus was on those that wanted to and could leave, in some ways I think its better to dump the problems into one area, easier to police, but some of those problems should be dumped into prisons, not left to rot in prison, but treated if drugs, rehab etc, even if crime, taken off the streets nonetheless. Seriously in need of additional prison/spaces with facilities and standard measures for applying sentences so Judges cant make it up as they go along, commit x do y time, not convinced concurrent sentencing or early release is any use for anyone thats got a long list or history of crimes, especiallu when they havent been through some kind of rehab/training.

hopefully the woman recovers ok and the scum is caught and put away for a few years at least, chances.

Wouldn't let her any other time either, same along the canal too.....

Safety in numbers usually so going down along there isn't the safest.

I do go for a walk along there every so often if on a long break, usually plenty running and that but it really depends on time.

I'm from Dublin, work in Dublin and have seen some sh1t in my time and I wouldn't class it as been a safe place to be.

Yeah, i get the impression all the burned out cars (and bus) are part of a set, too. Hence them all being right beside each other, on a footpath, behind a railing.


I think that was one of the things the video was 'showing off', was all the props/changes for the film.

Yeah I've told her enough times that I'll get a taxi.

Same, for myself. I'm living and working in Dublin all my life. I'm OK because I blend in and look a bit dodge myself but I've seen these gimps hassle deliveroo cyclists and tourists and other minority groups. It ain't pretty.

It's every other week they are scaling the walls of my apartment block and into the courtyard looking for bikes to rob off hard working people.

Fred Cryton

Can anyone else think of a place, not just in Ireland but in Europe, where every store and pharmacy in the area has to have full time security.

Assuming a wage of around €20k, that means the locals must have been robbing and/or shoplifting more than €20k per year from EACH of these businesses in order to justify the wage of the security guard.

screamer

Poor woman apart from the huge physical injuries, I can imagine she’ll be terrified to go out alone anywhere ever again alone. There’s so much more that scumbag did to her than just stab her, and he won’t pay for it.
It’s really time for soft Ireland to wake up, it’s already too late for us, these scumbags fear no one and value nothing, and go around carrying knives. Pure scum.
But even if arrested and charged it’ll be free legal aid, psychological evaluations and whatever medical attention they need, mitigating circumstances, a ridiculously light sentence and then three square meals a day and perks in prison all free and paid for by Johnny tax payer. Meanwhile, what will the victim get? Years of fear.

Thelonious Monk

Girl I was seeing until not too long ago lives around there and often walks alone at night, i don't like seeing this.
I used to be at her place on Mayor st a lot and for all the gentrification in the area that Sheriff st produces some real scumbags. I'd often see security guards getting harassed and racially abused by local teens. They also get housed in the fancy new apartments there like my exes, so they can stay in the area, she had a few dubious neighbours.
Thiago Cortes was killed by local scum too, I wonder how that court case will go.

ShineOn7

The whole thing is so sad and sees Dublin truly as the cesspit it is. Posts on the Reddit Ireland thread are mentioning two muggings on Talbot St in the last 24 hours too

From the Indo piece

“This lady is very, very lucky to be alive and this was a very savage crime. She didn’t even put up a fight and was no threat to him,” a senior source said.

Has to be a junkie who was off his tits right?

Not even a sober scumbag would do this
