I live there and I’m aware of a lot of what goes on. I’m not afraid to step outside my door like people would have you believe but it’s far from the safe, seaside town I grew up in.

You're left without your travel documents (if you have any in the first place) for weeks on end while your application is being processed. Quite how you expect someone to hop on the next flight to Lagos without a passport is a peculiar skill. Perhaps you should sell training on it, you'd make a fortune. Now if you want to play the uneducated, simplistic boorish card by all means fire ahead. Perhaps some of the adults might actually find a solution to the issue

The first Africans arrived in the early 2000s in the town as the economy was picking up and new houses were being built for working people with mortgages. They then encouraged their friends to come live here as they graduated from Mosney camp. Now as their families grow up we are starting to see the results of this with crime, grime and economic stagnation becoming the norm. What’s next for Balbriggan? Probably something like white flight where white people who are sick of the problems start to move to other towns. So basically the future of balbriggan looks bleak. Something we’ve seen happen to many towns and cities in America.

This use to be a great beach and as you can see we can't blame all the problems of man-eating sharks.

It was just black people who did that. Infact, it was most likely the travelling gangs of black youths who came over from ballbriggan and did that.

Those houses being thrown up on the cheap by greedy property developers. Not sure what that has to do with anything 3. A Kerry businessman who treats his staff like dirt buying up half the properties on the main street of the town, charging obscene rents on them and letting the units go to ruin when the business owners inevitably have to shut up shop so he can knock them and throw up yet more dodgy apartments.Moriarty does not own anywhere near half the properties on the Main Street. What evidence have you that he treats his staff like dirt? The staff in Super Valu and the BC Hotel are among the best I’ve seen anywhere in the country to be honest. They seem very happy in what they do. 4. A giant Tesco supermarket white elephant on the outskirts of the town that contributes to the decline of the town centreThe people of Balbriggan were crying out for something like Millfield, it came at the wrong time. 5. Schools that are falling apartThere’s no schools “falling apart” 6. A garda station that has seen its funding slashed.5 new Gardaí in the town since last year 7. "de blacks"Placing a large number of any race, creed or nationality from a vastly different culture in a working class area will inevitably result in friction and culminate in racism. That’s the way of the world and there’s no simple fix. Of course the natural reaction is to gloss right over issues 1 to 6 and just blame all the towns ills on "de blacks"
