I've a friend and neighbor from Darndale who's a Garda and I've known two Darndale residents who've gone on to get law degree's and passed the New York bar exam. Both a solicitors here now. But the odd's are really stacked against you growing up in Darndale. Now I hardly grew up in luxurious surrounds myself, I lived in the flats in Ballymun for most of my childhood and teen years before the family moved to a house in Poppintree. As bad a reputation those places have I'd rather risk raring a family there than Darndale.

Rory Straight Jumpsuit wrote: » Its the absolute truth though. Darndale is a complete and utter sh*thole. I used to do take away deliveries from Thang Congs in Priorswood. We had to use a runner/helper because a driver couldn't leave his car without it getting robbed. You had to wait for the young lad to come running safely back to the car like a bat out of hell. I lost count of the times they were robbed and beat up. They were desparate times and I needed the money, I wouldn't go near the place now unless it was to straff it from a helicopter gunship (and napalm bombs too, and maybe white phospherous too).

Someone goes to the bother of getting a gun, stealing a car in Jan for use in Feb, stalks the individual, approaches and shoots dead the individual in front of many others, leaves the scene and burns out the car, accepts that the consequences are severe if caught, people don't do that over nothing.

Dante7 wrote: » The little courtyards were havens for drug dealing and anti-social behaviour and were impossible to police. I'd expect a huge effort from the Gardai to prosecute those responsible for this latest murder. It's one thing to have gangsters wiping each other out, bit this was a working man with no convictions or involvement in crime who was murdered on his way to work over an apparent personal dispute.
