    limerick is more of a focus , media attention , due to a few incidents that happened (that happen in every city in Ireland) and the media made a holy show about it


    god this is all i ever hear, limerick mentality appears to be no different to places like granard, thinking the media is out to get it, i mean c'mon get with the times,point taken though on limericks size, but waterford has a similar argument, as does Cork.

    Fingers crossed...

    i Castletroy has a population of nearly 20,000 and doesnt have a single station, not to mention limerick largest surburb raheen?????

    out of interest whats the pop. of castletroy in the summer? i assume that it must drop substantially, but yes i agree that a police station for the suburb would be desirable. that or they follow thru on my suggestion of fencing off UL from limerick and extinguishing all those pesky public walkways.

    Stop the masses of scumbags from walking around?

    I never see "masses" of scumbags walking around. And I'm sure scumbags despite their lack of intelligence know how to get around a fence.

    To be honest, I always thought that those calling for a Castletroy Garda station sounded like middle-class whingers.

    There's a Garda Station on the Island that's unmanned and right next to a high-profile crime spot. Putting resources into it might actually stop someone being killed.

    Castletroy doesn't have any crime problem worth speaking of in comparison.
    Its just not a priority when there are real problem areas elsewhere in the city where people are in real and constant danger of physical attack.

    I do think some of the out-of-town students might be more naive and less streetwise then Limerick-based students though. I remember one first year who was robbed just outside Colbert Station after he arrived in Limerick for Orientation Week.

    the only palce i ever found to be dangerous was the entrance to briarfield/or accross the road to elm park,where there was always a gethering of young "scum"...it was always pretty suspicious how lights were always broken as soon as they were put up in that laneway, 7 of my friends got "annoyed/hit/attacked/insulted" there over a short period last year, we had our windows smashed in and the house was slightly broken into, but apart from that, it was grand to live there and i was there for 4 years...local scumbags, all about 15 or 16 with noting better to do
