    If you are attacked by junkie scum it's because of your opinion of Dublin.

    Seek refuge in the nearest Spuermacs, or Fannerys, or Coppers

    Oh no.

    They can even read your thoughts now.

    They're going to take over soon.

    Run. Run for your lives!

    Dalkey. Supposed to be fairly rough

    Dalkey is not in Dublin.

    Dalkey is the capital of the Killiney/Dalkey archipelago and its citizens do not associate themselves with yobs/dubs.

    The Killiney/Dalkey archipelago is twinned with Howth/Malahide outer reaches.

    Remember OP that you can pay the bus driver with a tenner and he will give you back the change.

    Unfortunately there's no way around it. Enter Dublin and you're likely to die.

    Dalkey, just be careful, there's lads up there hanging around cafes, high as kites on Skinny Lattes. Get caught up with one and you could be bored to death!

    Not an expert but one of the Luas lines is best avoided from what Dublin friend said in the past. Maybe a Dubliner can say which one..red line?

    No avoid the green, the red runs through the most delightful of places.

    If anyone asks what religion you are, say buddhist.





    No, wait, that's the North.

    My tips to survive the place...
    • Luas ticket machines attract junkies and beggars like flies on fresh ****e, if you have to use them do so as quick as possible with coins already in your hand to insert.
    • Wear headphones while walking around the streets, whether there's music on or not it avoids contact with anyone.
    • If you smoke do so somewhere very quiet or the scum will be asking you constantly for "a lend of a smoke" and the only way they will fcuk off is if you headbutt them or give them a kick in the bollix.
    • Never open your wallet on the streets, also there's no such thing as a wallet inspector.
    • The quays in Dublin have a boardwalk near O'Connell Street, the majority of people on it are junkie scum of their faces, best avoid.
    • If your really green and not streewise at all bring 2nd dummy wallet with you that if you are held at knifepoint you can hand it over, have inside various pieces of paper with notes written on them telling the scummer how much of a sucker he was taking it, then laugh at such fun you had in the big smoke on your journey home outsmarting them :D
