Most dangerous and anti social housing estate in Ireland

Infernal Racket · 06-09-2019 10:32AM #1

I only have a couple of experiences of really bad housing estates so I'm interested in hearing from others what their worst experience is. F0r me, Muirhevnamor and Coxs Demesne in Dundalk are absolute **** holes of the highest order, also Dalton Park in Mullingar is a dump but on a much smaller scale. What, I'm your opinion, are the worst estates in the country at present?

Nah , I'm cool with social housing thread , thanks for the concern though.

I feel I'm under informed on this. Can we do a nationwide tour of the 100 worst estates and then convene for a vote?

I spotted a lad in Muirhevnamor with a f*cking machine gun one night running down a lane from one house to the other. :eek: Looked like an AK-47 or something similar in shape.

Just what is needed, another social housing bashing thread.

Darndale.

Foxrock.
Some of those people make killings daily.

On the markets or something, but I'd never go after dark.

Southill In Limerick is some kip

John Sweeney Park in Carlow.

Mainly because of the accent and being in Carlow.

Darndale/Belcamp are pretty hard core in fairness to them, parts of tallaght and clondalkin crumlin areas too. Ballyfermot was fairly wild.

Its Citywest. Don't let that put you off one of the buying one of the new 400k houses in the private development that backs onto it.

The new built store is lovely.

Mad_maxx · 06-09-2019 12:45PM

Moyross is often mentioned but it's too big to really completely write off, st Mary's Park ( Limerick again) looks awful run down but it appears to have quietened down a lot?

O malley Park in Southhill Limerick is a right dump

Mad_maxx · 06-09-2019 12:46PM

Actually o malley Park might be ballinacurra weston?

No it's considered fortunestown. You need to travel further on the road go through the roundabout then your in City West.

Having grown up in the countryside, my parents large self build detached house is in the middle of protected woodland. We cannot see other houses, own water supply, cannot see or hear other traffic and on a private road. But yet only 15 minutes walk to shop and pubs and main road.

Housing estates are an alien concept to me and generally fill me with horror and confusion that large swathes of the population live if such third world conditions.

And to think city folk like to call us culchies. It is a compliment. You live on a council estate ffs....or some wankly named Celtic Tiger housing estate negative equity ****show.

Oh yeah....(takes giant smug nasal inhalation)..:D

Jobstown isn't an estate though, it's the size of a small town in itself.

Samsgirl · 06-09-2019 01:07PM

Ballybeg in Waterford can be a scary place at times. Just the minority ruining it for a lot of decent people.

biko · 06-09-2019 01:08PM

There is a huge estate just east of Lucan...

Access to jobs, shops, restaurants and public transport are certainly not third world conditions

. Ahh bless, they fill you with horror and confusion? Would prefer living in a housing estate rather than going down the country disco to get a shift from the second cousin every Saturday. We know what you lot are up to.

Wasn't this the name of a TV show in TV3 a few years ago?

I live in Ballyfermot and it’s calmed a bit in recent times, but my god croftwood and cherry orchard are madness.
Fortunestown Lane is dodgy as hell. And yes the Lidl there is not really city west. Past the roundabout is Citywest, but just about. Just a fancier name for Tallaght.

Nah, I've heard about it too. Called Dub.... something or other.

Filled with a million or so warm bodies, with dreadful accents and constantly killing each other

It's fortunestown actually and yes the new store is nice there but the clientele are mostly unemployed scum from all walks of life and cultures

Ballycragh, Dublin 24. Absolute kip house! Unfortunately Firhouse is starting to become a sh!t hole to, especially the parts that are just beside Ballycragh, the Ballycrap disease has spread unfortunately. Anywhere generally where there is social housing is going to be a dump. It's a proven fact, don't buy a house near any social housing areas if you intend to feel safe walking your dog after dark.

Are the lads in Ballycragh still waiting outside Firhouse CS every day to knock the ballix out of you posh lads?

If you ever said to someone from Firhouse that they were part of Tallaght, they'd lose their minds.....LOL
