What Is the most dangerous place in Ireland?

Identifying the most dangerous place in Ireland requires you to say what danger it is that worries you.

If you're talking about danger of death, then the most dangerous county in Ireland (base on life expectancy figures) is Leitrim if you're a man, Limerick if you're a woman.

Summerhill in Dublin has always been king of the dumps for me. Never liked the vibe around the place and a work colleague of mine who lived there used to talk about all sorts of crazy sh1t, stolen cars, attempted car jackings and such.



Don't get the impression that MarkY91 and his g/f were subject to much hate, if any, from his posts.

None at all. But I know well enough that going down the road in an Ireland jersey shouting in my Dublin accent wouldn't be the wisest of moves.

Driving through Loyalist areas around the "Twalfht" with southern reg plates.

Dublin quays/isolated side streets at night.

Dublin generally on St Paddy's night.

Walking along a country road from Danny Healy-Rae's local after closing time.

Ah schure youd be grand, according to Danny all his customers ever have is a glass of Guinness before driving :rolleyes:

South Hill in Limerick (as already mentioned a few times) is a total fcuking kip, I'm aloud say it since I'm from Limerick :-).

It looks like something out of Syria.

It's not a small minority of people that are the problem there either.

Yeah your bang on tbh, Majority of the civil folks have been rehoused else where, Most of the young people living there at the minute would be scumbags that are making life hell for the elderly that remain.

Farms (and I say that respectfully), Carrantuohill (but most go prepared), the Atlantic ocean, the Irish Sea, building sites, disused quarries, our road system.


Not getting pulled in to the sad, bitchy trap of slating towns, cities and areas of the country.

Ironically enough saw this headline today and was instantly reminded of the night out I posted about a few pages back - complete with a photograph of the same apartment block in which some of the rioting I mentioned was taking place.

I had previously walked down this street / lane during the day a couple of times and hadn't seen any sh!te other than groups of teenagers chilling around on the pavements etc - the trouble obviously only kicks off at night, which was mentioned on the Prime Time special about the area, couple of residents interviewed saying that after dark they close their curtains, lock their doors, and don't leave until the sun comes up.

I was thinking maybe it might have changed since 2014 but obviously not.

Either way, at night time I'd definitely say that this is one of the most dangerous places in Ireland. There's a road not too far away from it in Rialto called St Anthony's Road which would be a close second in my estimation - the photos speak for themselves Kind of place where you're likely to be hit with "what the f*ck are youuuuu lookin' ah?!" as soon as you turn the corner off the South Circular. When I was in college, a couple of German exchange students had the temerity not to let two of the local scumbags gatecrash their balcony beers session, so the f*ckers came back with a knife and murdered both of them
