Just in case you haven't made an effort to read over some of the last few pages of this thread........ you'd see the topic of White Flight been brought up. And given what is happening in Balbriggan, it is not too far a stretch to suggest that Balbriggan and other areas are heading for the same fate as hundreds of cities across Europe and America. But factual evidence on the Leftists part and the burden of proof that White Flight won't happen just as they have happened in countless areas similiar to what Balbriggan is experiencing can't be doneSo instead just scream.....racist!!!!

The town's population is 75% indigenous Irish, much of the 25% non indigenous is based in the 'newer' parts such as Castlelands, Moylaragh, Cardy Rock and some of the estates off Hamlet Lane, etc - it's not displacement by any means.

Now you wouldn't catch me dead living in Legoland but the likes of Chapel Gate, Hampton Cove, Fancourt and further out like Balrothery and Balscaddan are nice spots to live in

Don't get angry don't get personal abide by the rules stick to your guns and the people reading the thread will make up their own mind. I have found staying calm and calling out their nonsense drives them totally crazy. As I said I am not too pushed about this thread but I hate to see that tactic employed against people posting facts.

P_1 wrote: » Ok 18 years ago the northwest of the town was basically fields, housing estate wise you had Pinewood, Hampton Cove and Fancourt to the south, Bath Road to the north and Tara Court, Tara Cove and Chapel Gate to the west. Since then you have estates too numerous to name in Legoland been added. On top of that the EU ended at the river Oder and the economy was basically in the toilet 18 years ago. Now if you add an expansion to the EU, the whole Celtic Tiger thing and a doubling of the towns population to the mix of course you're going to get a change in demographics.

All Seeing Eye wrote: » The economy was absolutely booming 18 years ago so you are wrong on that front. A big event happened that year aswell, the refugee camp at Mosney opened and after that economic migrants from Africa began to settle in Balbriggan.
