Blanch is generally a very good area but there are loads of surrounding areas that are regularly referred to as Blanchardstown simply because they are covered by Blanch garda station. Just like most of the areas calling themselves castleknock are not in castleknock you have the same with blanch. If you are considering moving you should be more specific about the particular area. Closer to blanch village and Roselawn are generally very good areas with older populations and good services. To the west of the center is more mixed but generally fine as is much of Corduff. Mulhuddart is a separate area and shouldn't really be referred to as blanchardstown at all.

Does anyone know what practical steps you can take / request of the council/guards/whoever in relation to illegal dumping? There's regularly unmarked white vans going round the likes of R121 dumping bags of rubbish every few meters; watched them doing it the other night and have heard others report it. There's rubbish everywhere now with the winds (some of it is from regular bins, but most is blowing out of the illegal dumping) and it's quite a pain in the arse to be picking it out of your garden and just unsightly.

Well the traffic is bad. While there's been a few incidents lately, it's not like it's the wild west. Around 100,000 people living in the area, so all sorts of things - good and bad - do happen.

Am I right in saying what you're suggesting is, to have a long soul searching chat with these individuals and reward them with a X-Box? Which they can then go and flog for their next fix?

Think tongue was firmly in cheek when that was suggested. !!--- that the poor perpetrator was somehow deprived.

Better to look for reasons why they felt compelled to inflict such a vicious, nasty inhuman attack on a poor old woman, then buy them an X BOX.

OMG you can't say or advocate that sort of brutish behaviour, sure if you agree with that the RULE OF LAW would break down..

As I say, who knows what was said by whom first and when. Still, windows getting put in is pretty extreme - you can see the house top of orchard close.

I don't go near them regularly nowadays but the coolmine woods used to be a regular place to get hassle. Pal of mine was robbed in it twice with a blade put to him; I got a watch taken some years ago in it. It is significantly thinned out nowadays and I think the behavior ebbs and flows with the generational cycle of the kids and kids of kids of the surrounding area.

Incident last Saturday beside the Coolmine woods, one of the houses on Orchard Close had its windows put in by a group of youngsters. They were hassling one of the lads living in the house as he walked his dog through the woods, followed him home, he told them to get lost, they came back later that night and put in the downstairs windows. Who knows what was said by whom but it really feels like there's a few gangs of yobs going round various parts of Dublin nowadays.

Awful. Jenny is eccentric but harmless, and well known enough that whoever did this likely targeted her knowing she's vulnerable but also just a nice person about the community.

Bad weekend for Blanch related news, and it seems that the group that was terrifying taxi drivers up in Tyrrelstown moved on to bigger and better things, they're off in Malahide and Portmarnock with pals of theirs intimidating and robbing people. The kind of everyday small ball crime and intimidation that degradates communities unless it's dealt with fairly toughly.

Sickening stuff to happen to Jenny, no one deserves that nevermind a wheelchair bound 85 year old woman!

PaddyBomb

Absolute scum to do that to Jenny!

There was a girl robbed at the bus eireann bus stop on the slip road too.

Scum who attacked jenny utter scum.

She is OK though. My dad was talking to her yesterday she was bragging about fighting them off. Poor woman though. She's harmless.
