    Whitehall Dublin 9: The area was good but the shared house was a nightmare. The junkie who robbed my food and DVDs was replaced with a disgusting alcoholic. I was delighted to get out.

    Skerries: Live in landlady was a pain in the hole. Lovely town but 90% of the population of Skerries seem to be 40 something middle class commuters. I had little in common with anyone there. I certainly don't miss having to get that bloody train in the mornings. The town was practically depopulated by the commuters in the morning and repopulated in the evening.

    Blanchardstown I am not old enough to have three :D

    I rented in Whitestone for a year.... Birkenhead comes in as a close second. Wheatfield prison limps into third place comes in to make up the trio, although it in fairness it has food fit for a Duke

    I lived in a few places but only one tops the bill. Portsmouth in south England. Unfriendly, ugly, anti-immigrant and very entitled as a population.

    From Blanchardstown, but worked in Iraq from 2006-2008 during the war.Not even joking when I say I had less trouble in Iraq than Blanch.

    I lived in Iraq from 85-86. Blanch from 2009-2011.
    Blanch was definitely worse.

    Ah lads, Blanchardstown is not that bad at all, especially since pubs and off licences no longer sell Harp. You have a lot of life to see if you think that place is bad.

    +1 on Dundalk though, definitely had it's challenges, but we shouldn't be trying to beat each other down; lots of good honest god fearing people in Dundalk, and lots of young kids looking forward to a better future. If you keep laughing at them, you ostracise people.

    Many parts of Tralee were **** in 1989, mostly down to the knackers
    Dolphins Barn was grim when I lived nearby in 1990, gang of 14 year olds throwing stones from the roof of the flats at cops and fire brigade who came around for a car fire that they started
    Limerick in the early 90's was **** as well

    You've noticed Bluebell has a church but no graveyard , they eat their dead

    I may have family living there.
