I've heard some bizarre stories about it involving flipping houses back to front (as in, the back door becomes the front door and so on) so that the fronts of houses face the main road now as opposed to the lanes and cul de sacs, but I honestly don't see how that's supposed to make a huge difference in terms of safety...?

One mother was saying to her boy, he was around 8 comere ya little bollix ya FFS come on ya little shoite ya... My son didn't know what to think, I was laughing to myself... Two muckers in the big smoke, then we seen two car chase's, people scraping.. People falling around like Zombies it's worth going up there to see the other side. Although Shannon and Ennis has its fair share of junkie's and there's always someone getting arrested outside supermacs on a Saturday night... It's happening in every crossroads, village, town and city in Ireland...

A plural doesn't require an apostrophe just because it's a plural. Stop it! On your point, the street names in Darndale are even funnier with their loveliness. Names like Snowdrop, Buttercup, Primrose and Marigold. Brilliant.

I used to think Cherry Orchard was like a place with draping flowering cherries, all nice detached houses and condos... Almost like a country estate kind of setup... They've all really nice name's

This is the main thing I remember hearing about the redesign, but on its own it doesn't make much sense in terms of improving security. Looking old satellite photos of it on Google Earth compared with today, it looks as if back gardens were also extended so that houses were only publicly accessible from one side rather than both?
