    Feel sorry for the young girl standing outside watching that thinking that this is "normal"

    Gotta love the long summer evenings.
    More time to be productive...

    Saab lasted longer than I expected.

    Farranree boys will need a good comeback now.

    Little girl with ribbons in her hair looking out over the wall.

    Terrible for kids growing up there thinking this behavior is normal or acceptable in any way .

    That’s my point.

    Poor kids dont stand a chance.

    It is, that is the sad part. Not that all people are involved but that they have just accepted knackers crashing into garden walls and parked cars as life.

    I'm guessing there's 3 very pissed off car owners in Finglas or surrounds right about now.

    Don't even get me started on nearly clearing out a lad walking on the footpath, utter scumbags.

    4, they smashed that Polo parked beside the cameraman. There's 4 people that now can't get to work or to the shops. None of the cars are worth claiming on the insurance for... so a couple of grand needs to be saved to buy another. Absolute scum.

    kids scooter in the middle of the road

    Finglas in the 1980s was like this everyday. Nothing's changed I see.

    Another case put forward for sterilization in certain areas of society.

    No consequences, so they don't give a fcuk as they will get away with this lifestyle while the taxpayer sponsors it

    Sure there’s nothing for the poor kids to do.

    Cesspit of a country.

    Send in armed response unit and shoot everyone involved no questions. End of....! Whats the point in any court appearance for ***** like them? They all probably go to court every week anyway. ****in ****hole of A country..No justice


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 386 ✭✭wyf437gn6btzue


    the sad reality is a majority of the local people are decent, its the 10-20 percent of absolute wasters who suck up all the resources, destroy the local area and make life difficult for the other 80 percent.

    I`d personally believe that access to social welfare, housing and such should be based off how productive someone is to society and how likely they are to impede on honest peoples life with crime etc. So active and recently convicted criminals should have no access at all to any social welfare, social housing until they make an obvious change in behavior.

    The sentences for crime in this country is abysmal anyway, hit them in the pocket is the way to go

    Apart from the Polo (which oddly enough no one gave a fcuk about) all those cars are cheap ****ters off done deal. The dirtbirds in my estate buy them and rally them daily. In fact there's a Volvo with leather seats parked outside my house right now belong to them.

    9 years we are here now and we're moving tomorrow mostly because of them. My daughter can't go outside the door for fear of getting knocked down.

    I hope they fcuking crash and die screaming in pain some day.

    Used to live near there.

    I'll go back to live there when Hell hosts the Winter Olympics.

    I don't know really, I'd mostly agree with you but having people with a criminal lifestyle like that who now have absolutely nothing to loose anymore is hardly going to make things much better. It's unlikely they'll suddenly end up reformed citizens and take up jobs.

    I don't think it's right they get looked after by us the taxpayers but I'm not sure what the alternative is either. Maybe food coupons or something...

    My question is; most likely some people from that local area, or indeed the immediate wider area, know who these people are, yet will they say anything?

    Absolutely not.... And I don't blame them.

    The people who did this, you can basically guarantee that they have many previous convictions, of which this would be just one more.

    Any decent people from the area don't want this, are fed up with this, but live in fear knowing that if they actually attempted to notify the authorities, you can bet their windows would be smashed in an accident that has "no relation" to them going to the Garda.

    Scum whoever did this, yet they are all laughing now.

    Terrible to have to live with scumbags like these dragging you down.

    Am familiar with Greenfort and best of luck in the future.

    I live in Fettercairn but I'm from Greenfort.. Greenfort is paradise compared to this place. I'll be moving to the other end of Tallaght which is nowhere near like this kip.
