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.

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.

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.

Supervalu in tyrellstown robbed at knife point last night. Don't know if they got much or anything. Was working in one of the other shops in the area so a few people came in saying it after wards.

Just drove in, I was in the carpark. A lady in the carpark was telling me . They put a knife up to him. She wasn't sure if they got anything as it happened so fast. The drove of was about 6 : 40 pm . The cops was there just before 7 pm as I was leaving.
Spoke too one of the girls at the till she seems shocked , she was furthest away .
Was at the till next to the exit!
The staff member who it happened to is ok. Well justr upset and shocked.

People trying doors in Delwood/Brompton cul de sacs last week during the day. Guards told our neighbours they got a call about it.

Blakestown road. Loads of sirens as I was leaving the centre.

Road is closed off now. Have to go that direction myself in a bit

Coverage said the victim was "well known" to the Gardai. Must be a serious bad egg.

It was a 2009 bright green Mazda demio. Would have been taken between midnight and 7ish this morning. The driveway was wet so I reckon it was taken early in the night though

Awful. There's a gang going around at the moment, two cars reported robbed off driveways in Hollywoodrath in the past couple of weeks.

Very sorry to hear this, my house was broken into a few weeks ago, specifically for the car, culprits caught on CCTV but can’t identify them, car was stolen and nothing else touched. They arrived at 04:25, dogs started going crazy, they left and came back 15 minutes later with meat for the dogs, threw it through the back gate, and were then gone within 3 minutes then

dmm82 · 24-12-2018 2:10pm

Managed to get my college notes/ books back. We had posted about the robbery on Facebook and a man found my college bag thrown over a wall in beechfield and dropped it into us. Going to go up later and see is there any other stuff thrown around the estate

Also know some folks down in Springlawn who had a couple of houses broken into and keys - nothing else - taken for cars. Feels like someone meticulously making their way through the area.

According to the Gardai who dealt with us, it’s an Eastern European gang that are doing it and the cars go up north and onto a containership out of here to Northern Africa

miss misty · 25-12-2018 1:57pm

If they know where the cars are going then why are they not doing anything to stop it

OldMrBrennan83 · 25-12-2018 2:16pm

They'd have to leave the station then.

I just had a walk where I was only on a main road (as in not in an estate) for 5 minutes and saw two squad cars.

About 5:30pm yesterday (Wed 26 Dec) three lads were throwing eggs at cars on Laurel Lodge Road as they passed the church. They got mine on the passenger side. I phoned it into the Gardai (who actually answered though it took a good few rings).
It took a few litres of water to wash off.

If this happens anyone DON'T use the wipers or sreen wash as you wont' be able to see out the window, some thieves do this as it forces cars to pull over when the windscreen is cloudy from using wipers / washer.

I did a quick search and read that using the wipers will remove enough of the mess to allow you to drive to somewhere safely: https://www.hoax-slayer.net/egg-windshield-attack-robbery-warning/

Serious issue doing the rounds on Facebook this morning and last night. A page called Dublin Taxi Drivers has shared a video of what they say is 4 African lads attacking and robbing a driver after traveling from city centre to Tyrellstown. It's being shared by quite a lot of people and some of them are certainly identifiable.
