Whats the worst area in dublin?

Debyaka

What do you think is the biggest dump of an area in dublin??

Now both the southside and northside have their fair share of dodgy areas, so be more specific!!!
I think Dolphin's Barn is one dodgy kip and thats right up there with Oliver Bond Flats and O'Devaney gardens..

Now i know there is decent people in every area blah blah blah.. But be honest!!

Bottle_of_Smoke

Worst I've come across is Inchicore, on a match night though.

lived in finglas for a year, and its awful. the house kept getting egged, people tried to break into it a few times, a stolen car was crashed into the wall, joyriders around the estate every night, the house overlooked scribblestown lane, which is "murder alley" up there.couldnt really go around after dark, even though it was half a mile to the bus stop. dodgy dodgy characters around the place as well.i hated every second of living there...then i moved to Ballybough!!!the scum from summerhill mugging my mates

This is not a thread to ask people where they are from, its just to ask what areas you think are bad!!

Valley Park I take it? Its gotten worse since you left I tell you, sure if you check the hearld tonight, a few inocent people got shot by accident sunday with a sawn off shot gun. The place is a right kip.

Kevin_rc_ie

some parts of finglas, ballymun, corduff area, parts of tallaght, bits of donaghmede. to be honest, and maybe a bit contraversial, most areas with high density of counsil housing are rough areas. i know not everyone living in X is a scumbag, but the highest proportions are in these areas.

But would you not agree that in these "bad areas" there are ppl reading this thread from those areas ?

I know somebody who lived in kipure appropriate name that!!

How can somebody get shot by accident with a sawn off?? madness!! I drive through valley park a fair bit, its mad alright but at least the horses are gone now.

Difficult question. I'd have to go for the area between Donaghmede on the north and Dalkey on the south. I know that's pretty specific, but there you go.

Nightwish

lived on ratoath rd. it was the only place i could afford to live, and the only place i could get qiuckly-i had autumn college repeats which meant i only had a week between finding a place to live and starting college. I was aware it was dodgy but couldnt believe it when i saw it. i now, thankfully live in a relatively safe area of Dublin, thank god

I'm not anti-UK but I hate that recent Brit invented word: Chav.
Why don't you use knacker or scumbag, those words have served us well for years.

There was a bit of a struggle between two people and the gun went off, its all inthe herald tonight. Was on Rathoath road, where the person above just moved off. Nice move

So you live in a dump then yea?

Kevin_rc_ie

drumcondra, its a fúcking hole.

that's rubbish there are far far worse areas then drumcondra. the only problem is it's quite close to rough and tough areas. property in drumcondra is generally very expensive. there's a reasonable chunk of Griffth avenue you could consider in drumcondra too.

He is right! there are two sides of Ballyfermot. There is Ballyfermot and then there is Ballyer! The main road divides the two!
But some parts are fine! And the people are alright!

This is true but to avoid confusion i am sticking with bad areas for scumbags. Pearse Street used to be terrible and now in the last few years they have upgraded it to really bad!

Blanchardstown and tallaght seem to be getting off lightly tonight,
Whys that i wonder??

And what about ringsend, thats a right sh|thole!!

I live in Blanchardstown and with all honesty I can say thats its not near the worst part in Dublin. Maybe Corduff/Fortlawn/Whitestown/ladyswell but i've never felt threatened walking around.

Nah theres still plenty more dublin girls to de-virginise before i head back to the green green grass of home

By the way it looks like your schools are dumps as well.

Did you mean: malachi


No standard web pages containing all your search terms were found.

Your search - malahuchi - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:

- Make sure all words are spelled correctly and also try to get an education anywhere outside of the dublin area.

Kevin_rc_ie

i mentioned tallaght and said corduff to really cover the whole north west. sure we all know there are knackers everywhere.

I've lived real close to the Big Tree for 5 years and so know that part of town really well. Bits are dodgy but I've trudged most parts of it after dark. Canal is dodgy, but the security cameras have helped.

Summerhill......

Kevo

Bray can be a bit dodgy at times. Havent had any trouble lately though. Shankill isnt the best either, loads of Spaniards get beaten up there every summer.

popinfresh

I live in Blanch. Right beside "da duff". I don't know much bout the rest of dublin but I reckon Corrduff and Fortlawn are the worst in blanchardstown. Either them or Carpenterstown (You have to live in Blanch to get that)

my uncle works in dolphins barn (fireman) and they do ambulances or something 2??? anyhow he reckons its one of the worst areas hes ever worked in.

flogen

West Finglas and parts of Ballymun (around the flats and that).
I've grown up next to Ballymun so maybe I'm not as scared of some of it as others, and I've spent a lot of my youth in places in Finglas that people would deem rough but I've never had any more trouble than some insults thrown my way.
I don't know any really rough areas in Drumcondra, generally a nice place with a few kids trying to act tough, and that's about it.

It's a Romany word I believe; Chave Rama = Children of Rama (as in the Hindu god Rama) which is what Romanies call themselves. The Rama bit is where the name Roma comes from.
